Nice scope Gino. Is the light shroud the same as the Meade one? The reason I ask is I just purchased the Skywatcher 16" GOTO and there is no specific aftermarket Shroud available yet. Can anyone suggest a good fabric to make one out of.
Gino for eyepieces I have some Meades and Vixens and find the 22mm & 17mm Vixen LVWs to be very good almost to the edge of the FOV.Anything over 22mm and the view begins to distort towards the edges. Anything under 17mm and I have to let the scope cool down I can see the heat shimmer.As for the scrambling for the adapter that is one benefit of the goto system I have the same problem when moving from the 30mm to the 22mm.
Look foward to your updates
