I am looking for suggestions for my eyepiece set for a 14.5" dob which I have ordered. The focal length will be about 68". My collection right now is: 40mm UO...
Hi Rob, The N17 T4 and the Nag T6s are close to parfocal. The N12 T4 is *way* different. A N11 T6 and a N7 T6 together would nicely fill the gap between the 17...
Hi Jim, I like the N7/T6 idea. I'm unsure about the N11. The N12 I believe has a bigger eye lens and different feel to it, much like the N17. I don't know. ...
Hi Paul, Owning both sounds like a great idea. I also have a FS102 and am building a 8" dob. For views I think I'd like the 12. I bet it makes a great...
Ive heard a lot of good suggestions, but I would recommend dumping all of those naglers for a fine set of kellners with the classic .965 barrel. How can you go...
... classic .965 ... Huh?.... How about something to fill the 27-40mm gap. I dont know if you you are using a paracor, but you might want to close inon that...
Hi Joe, I find that my EP is closer to 5.5-6 at my age. I don't really spend a lot of time viewing above 26mm so my priority is to first find something to...
The Laurel Highlands Star Cruise in northeastern West Virginia will offer at least 24 different presentations by 15 different speakers, June 14 - 20. Mel...
Rob, Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but the first response I have is to ask how you want to use the telescope. In my case, I'm a star hopper, so the...
Hi, After reading all these emails about filters I decided to post the transmission curves for my two filters: Lumicon OIII and Astronomik UHC. These were...
I have both the 7mm & 11mm Type 6 Naglers. I decided that the 12mm Nagler had too much out focus to be of use and sold my 7mm Pentax and have used the 7mm &...

Hi Rob, I use SW 5-8mm in Meade 16" F4.5 dob but will soon be receiving 14.5" Pegasus NightSky truss.It has been superb performer in my scope.This eyepiece...
Paul, Thanks. The SW5-8 intruiges me. I also am looking at something to fill the gap between my Nag17/T4 and my Nag9/T6. I am considering either a Nag13/T6...
I prefer having the instadjust and extra eye relief of the 12/T4 even though I don't wear glasses when observing.Optically this eyepiece is superb,giving...
I dont wear glasses and like lots of eye relief too. For one, you can avoid getting eyelash oil on your optics. Secondly, if somebody with lots of makeup...
Thanks Pauls, I think that confirms my feelings as well. I'm going to go for the 12/T4. I have the Nag9/T6 and it's much less an "immersing" feeling than you...
I actually like the view through the OIII filter better. I also find that I use it more often. ... From: Howie [mailto:scanmann1@...] Sent: Wednesday,...
In my humble opinion, the UHC performs better on more objects. IMO, any deep sky hound should have both because each performs better on different objects. ...
I'm pretty happy with my 12.5" Discovery PDQH except for its lack of portablility. But I use it regularly from my terrace. I was thinking about something...

Harry, OUch, that's a tough position to be in. You've never had your 12.5" under dark skies? As a dark sky hound, I couldnt imagine that. Ever consider a new...
Me Too! Dark sky observing is the best way to go, no matter what kind of 'scope you have. I am driving an old pick-up with a camper shell for that reason. If...
