Wonderful sketches mental! I'll definately give sketching a go once my kit arrives. Its going to take a lot of practice tho, I havent picked up a pencil for anything but technical drawing since junior high school art class! I had not even ventured that far into the forums yet, I definately have a few late nights of reading ahead of me.
Hey Richard
Those ES eps look good too and very well priced. Unfortunately you're about 30 mins too late, just placed my order on the hyperions. I'll definately concider them when I'm looking to expand.
As for the baaders, I settled on 8mm, 13mm & 21mm. This gives me 225x, 138x & 85x respectively. Now I just have to play the waiting game, plenty of time to play with my binos and learn more constelations.
Thanks again everyone, I learnt a lot tonight. I appreciate the time taken for the detailed responses
Cheers,
Mitch
