gaz, from another thread for my eyepiece testing. You are most welcome to help test the ep's! The more comments the better.
---------------------------------------------------
Summary of objects to view and then rate eyepieces based upon a recent link to the pentax comparisons of xw & xl's
Moon (high contrast surface features)
Planets (bright object, low contrast surface features)
Double stars
Detailed nebulaes / galaxy
Diffuse nebulas / galaxy
Compact clusters
Open cluster.
So thinking of objects to suit over the nights of star camp
Moon: NA
Planets: Mars @ 1am
Double stars: Gamma2Delphini @ 9pm
Detailed nebulaes / galaxy: Orion @ 2am, Sculptor galaxy @ 11pm
Diffuse nebulas / galaxy: NGC2070 @ 12pm
Compact clusters: M2 @ 10pm
Open cluster: clusters around the keyhole @ 3am
& finish off with saturn at 4am!!!
This is a rough guide of things i could find that will hopefully give me a wide range of viewing objects and a long enough timeframe.
Any comments / suggestions would be great. Or any other objects that provide a better test???
thanks
