Televue Delos

[bytor666]

The contrast in that scope being the best , and using the 13mm , the planet is framed in a huge starry field , really really nice .
I could imagine the Delos being very similar ?

Similar? Not only that, but heaps better! You should grab yourself a 10mm Delos or the newest 17.3mm Delos Brian! You know you want to!

I will probably ( will definatly ) look into one in a few months , or sooner if one becomes for sale here .

HI Wade,
From my own experiences (have XW 10mm & Delos 6mm) you could not go wrong with either of these EPs. The Delos has remarkably crisp views right to the edge of the FOV but, so does the XW 10mm.

I tend to use the XW more but, only because it suits my easiest scope to use with the magnification I get.... I have had some great views with the Delos - enough to know that you would be happy with one.

Hi Frank and thanks for the info. Out of curiosity, which scope/s do you use the XW in?

Hi Wade,
I use the scope in a cheap but modified f7.7 102mm Meade refractor and I have also used it in my 12' dob (f5) and 6' Mak (f10). It is great in all of them but I use it most in the refractor as it is a great magnification for looking at both planets and nebula. The planetary viewing with the XW and the Mak is incredible. I have used it in the dob but only once or twice.

Regards, F.

Thanks Frank,

I also have a 12" dob so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this combination.

Cheers
Wade
