Went to BINTEL to pick up my sunnies today.
Ran into Daniel (whom I know from the Snake Valley camp). Both Daniel and I were interested in Crayfords, but Roger explained how we could improve on our R&Ps and get rid of that annoying image shift. Nice one Roger! I will try to fix up my focuser this weekend.
I wanted to check out the 24 and 27mm Panoptics and how they'd do in my fab new 2" barlow, but Bintel was all out of just these focal lengths. Lucky for me! I got to leave with my wallet almost intact (I bought a mag but that was it). And just as I was leaving Bert (avandonk) rocked up, so I got to say hello to Bert in person. It's like a permanent iceinspace camp that shop. It's great!
