New Hand Grenade

My 17mm Ethos turned up today!

It is a big unit, looks really nice, not sure how it is going to fit in my eyepiece case though!

Really looking forward to giving it a thrashing at SV in March.

And so are all other SV Campers

Hmm. Looking forward to seeing how it performs in Paddys scope!
Other problem is now the eyepiece collection is at a standard that I need a bigger and better scope. May have to have another chat to Peter Read.

Well Malcolm, the standard formula for the optimal number of toys is
n+1, where n= the current number of toys in your possession...

Actually, recent experience has suggested that the correct formula is
n+(s-1) where s the number at which the other half notices you have been buying a lot of stuff lately!

Very nice Malcolm. So, looks like we found the culprit responsible for this latest round of cloudy muck...

I'd be keen on test driving it in a Skywatcher Heritage 76,

I have put lots of nights into this formulae myself , close , but have you considered , n+IIS =a bargain ( = n+2) .
Woaw , nice eyepiece and I hope you get lots of clear nights with it .

Thanks Bo, Sab and Brian.
Socked in solid here with clouds and looks like it is set for a few more days.
Hopefully will get to use sometime in 2012!
