Dave, try that EP on the trap & saturn etc before coming to a conclusion. I think that EP was the only one I have that could split antares. To solve the internal reflections on mars I used a contrast booster with it....But then I was getting some reflections from the filter itself! (Can't win!!)  |
Asi, Latest AOS ad in the AS&T. it says from $250 and the LW's fro $385 i think.
No conclusions yet, just passing thoughts as i go along.
It is the best eyepice i have looked thru for any length of time. There was a few at star camp, but not a solid hour of observing like last night.
As i was explaining to my brother, it may well be a case of "Gee this grange hermitage tastes not better than cask wine!"
I have to ask myself with such little experience, do i really know what i am looking for in trying to compare ep's
This vixen was lovely with the field stop, very distinct at the edge and so the planet had a better contrast because of the fixed area of viewing. There was no fading off to the edge that the 6.5mm series 500 suffers from.
On axis and off axis, i have trouble comparing sharpness or contrast between the two. The trap looked better with this one.
I have a lot more experimenting to do. And i tell you what, i didn't touch the toucam at all last night, i was having far too much fun observing!!!
No one should get me wrong about the LV, am i having fun using, you bet, would i buy one, not sure yet!
