OK, I confess!

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

OK, I confess!

Post by kayheem »

Hi guys,

After all the complaints about the poor weather, I have decided to come clean. Yes, I am to blame. I got a few new astro toys recently:

1. 1 pair of GSO 20mm eyepieces
2. 1 pair of GSO 15mm eyepieces
3. 1 pc Harry Siebert Galaxy Viewer 0.5X for SCT/MCT (for binoviewing)
4. 1 pc Orion 90mm MCT

Item #3 is essentially a focal reducer for SCTs and MCTs to be used for binoviewing only.

I managed to get these to coincide with the traditional period of poor weather.

Hope to update you guys when I have the chance to test them out.

Rgds,

Hi,

Weixing is spot on. There were a couple of favourable reports on it and I thought the price was pretty good for the FOV. The build was also a step above the usual Plossls. I bought 2 of each of the 1.25" for binoviewing.
