hi all visual astronammers,this is just a reminder to check the bottom of your eyepieces where they go into the diagonal just give them a nip up with your hands as they do come loose...during observing of the eclipse on saturday night changing eyepieces i'd taken my 35mm panoptic out of the diagonal and before i knew it the whole inside had dropped to the floor of the pod and there was broken glass everywhere
still in shock it had taken some time to clean up and many swear words later still could not believe it !!!! so on sunday just had to bite the bullet and buy another,the guys at the shop could not believe what had happen......
there's another thread going about what astro gear for christmas um a 35mm panoptic....
so go spend 2 minutes check your eyepieces are tight and then you don't have to buy the same product twice
