Thanks for the link Ken, I downloaded those charts. As for an Ipad, I almost bought an Ipad2 last month but there was no stock in Darwin. May wait for the Ipad 3 now.

Bought myself a Dry Box in preparation for the wet season. I like the gauge on the front which shows the level of humidity inside. My eyepieces should be well protected.

Also, I couldn't hold out any longer and ordered some eyepiece goodness
Should be getting the following next week.
Paracorr (type 1)
Tele Vue 24mm Panoptic
Tele Vue 13mm Type 6 Nagler
Astronomik UHC filter

I want to try out the 12mm of ER in the Nagler before I commit to any higher powered EPs. I'm also hesitant to buy a barlow as when combined with the eyepiece and Paracorr it may stick out too far from the focuser.
What I'm really looking to do is use all parfocal 1 1/4 eyepieces so all I have to do is change the eyepiece whenever I want to change magnification. Is this achievable or am I missing something?

If ER is OK then maybe a TV Nagler 9mm and 7mm will be next. If not I might look at a 8mm Ethos or the new Delos line. Decisions decisions
