... WG: That's the problem with eyepiece reviews, most people don't stop to think that the eyepiece is an optical element in a unique chain--- here is the...
Just a little confirmation of what Wayne says here but primarily concerned with bino-viewing. The 24mm gives you the most you can get out of a bino-viewer...
... Interesting...in this post you touch on the imponderables of eyepieces...why some people like some and despise others. This is something I've become aware...
... WG: A "review" of sorts really, done impromptu off the top of my head as I rushed to head out the door. So forgive the few typos that were in there. ... ...
... WG: Yes. If I had to pick only one Panoptic, it would be the 27. Overall, I feel it is the best balance between size and weight, cost, FOV and comfort of...
Wow Wayne! What a history lesson on the TV Panoptic's along with their application... BTW, I ordered the book yesterday I was talking about the other day. It ...
... WG: I thought I would pass on this thread but I see that while there are opinions out there, there aren't many /informed/ opinions. I have actually used...
It worked OK for me. Interesting pic! Wayne Lord/Star_Geezer Citrus Heights, CA ________________________________ From: Joseph <josephrome77@...> To:...
NO, there is a reason they stoped the 15mm. It did not do well. I only seen one and would not buy one. I think there is a 40mm also, but I have not seen...
Another question about the Panoptics, I have on one or 2 occasions seen on Astromart a 15mm / 1.25" TV Panoptic listed for sale. I don't see the 15mm 1.25"...
... Although I've never used either of them, I've heard extremely positive reports about both...they are among the best eyepieces on the market, bar none. ...
Went to the Mansfield dam last night (11-10-09) and set up early. Of course Jupiter had shown itself before dark, its equatorial bans shown clearly with some...
... WG: I would think it much more important right now to keep focused on finding a new place to move the hell out of where you are. ... WG: Yeah. How many...
Both axis are driven but only the RA drive moves while tracking. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: Geoff Gaherty <geoff@...> Date: Tue,...
... I'm pretty sure it does...I'm not aware of it being in one mode or another. Geoff -- Geoff Gaherty Foxmead Observatory Coldwater, Ontario, Canada ...
... Really? I had always assumed (without justification) that a GoTo driven mount would drive on both axes - sort of like a servo-cat system for Dobs....
Hello Gene, In the Meade Autostar system, GoTo accuracy and tracking accuracy are divorced. The alignment to two points in space allow GoTos to be accurate,...
I need to drown my sorrows after being turned down in my bid to move to a place twice as large. So I thought I would build a telescope. Is there any good...
... WG: Thanks. I have also sent 2.1Meg jpegs to Files with no problems, but you get a virtual address there so I usully try Photos where I can generate a...
... Thanks. When you are at the uploading stage, it tells you that 100K is the limit for an upload. My picture was 436K, but I went back and cropped -...
