Looking for recommendations on a 1.25", 2X-3X (or thereabouts) Barlow for use with an f/8 refractor. Televue? University Klee? PaulB Hamilton, VA [Non-text...
Hi Everyone: With Jupiter well placed these nights for observing I decided to update and expand my Jupiter Nomenclature page with an addional sketch,...
The Vixen LVs have a built in Barlow to help maintain that wonderful 20mm of eye relief. I use to own a 2.5mm Vixen LV, but promptly sold it after getting a...
Hi Eric, I just wanted to say thanks for making all the information on your web pages available. Last night I was observing Jupiter and Saturn with a TMB100...
Thanks Eric...nice bit of work indeed. Can I assume that the term "barge" equals "rod"? Jupiter has so many interesting features it is nice to gave a...
... Thanks, and yes a bar or a rod is sometimes referred to as a barge. I'll add that to the definition. Thanks too to Alan Whitman for pointing out a...
Very nice work indeed, Eric. I hope that your work inspires more amateur astronomers to not only observe visually, but to also draw what they see (or think...
Come on Paul, you bought a Questar - you bought an AP refractor - buck up for the bino. You''ll like it! ;-) Stew ... Of course, Todd is also sold on the...

Those who have used them agree that a quality binoviewer is worth the expense. The two "top dollar" units are the Astro-Physics Baader Planetarium model at...
Im new to this group and extremely interested in purchasing a high quality refractor for visual use in my back yard. I have a GP-DX mount and would like to...
Paul, I use both bino's. The A-P Baader is used on my A-P 10" Mak-Cass and the TeleVue Bino is used on my StarMaster 20" Dob. Both provide very good views of...
Paul, I've used both, but not at the same time. Both are high quality. Either will provide excellent results. Stew ... Those who have used them agree that a...
Paul - I own the AP unit and have used the TV on a regular basis. Both are quality products. The TV is lighter but is 1.25" for input size. With the AP, I...
Hi all! We have a demonstration version of the Synta EQ6 mount available for sale! Considering what has been said about this mount on various usergroups on the...
Nina - a 5" Tak (17lbs) with 7x50 finder, mounting rings, and big EPs will put you at the GP-DX's limit for high power visual use. It will work, but you will...
Thank you for your response. But I guess I need to ask, why would I need reserve if I have everything on the scope you/I listed and it works. Reserves for...
Nina, I had a TAK FS-128 mounted on a GP-DX with Sky Sensor for over 2 years. I did improve the stability of this set-up with an APM heavy duty wood tripod....
Paul, I have owned both. I kept the AP unit because of the low power views. For lowest power you can use it without the 1.25x corrector. The TV requires the...
Nina, The Tak FS128f8 is a big tube. My friend has his on a EM200. I think the weight and length of the tube may overwhelm both you and your mount. It will...
