Re: My long awaited galileoscope upgrade! TAKE 2
thanks everyone! Im really excited, hopefully I can report on my first light!
finally got my accessories, 7" dovetail, 2" diagonal (huge!!! I never thought it would be this big), 25mm generic Plossl and an ES 82 N2 8.8mm EP, I thought I'll try this wide 82 AFOV EP to see what the fuss is all about
