Hi,my name is Joseph and I also own a 14.5/f4.3 Starmaster.I already have a Panoptic 24 televue eyepiece and a televue 11mm.I was thinking of buying the Ethos...
I use the 9mm T6 Nagler on globs as I like to resolve to the core. I achieve 282X in my 20" F5 scope with the eyepiece. You might also consider the Pentax 10mm...
Hi Mike, I don't have any experience with the 16mm, but I sure love the 17mm. I like my 12mm T4 least of all my EPs. It just isn't comfortable, and it has, for...
Hi, I live just outside of Memphis, TN and see unsteady skies quite a bit. The light pollution is bad at my house, but just an hour away, the Milky Way can be...
Alan, I would recommend the 12mm Ngler Type 2. Jim ... From: "antsalan2002" <ANTSALAN@...> To: <starmaster_scopes@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, November...
Joe, I didn't mention it because it costs more than the 16mm T5. Definitely a good eyepiece, but I find positioning my eye to use it is a bit different than...
... I hope so. The problem doesn't have anything to do with wireless itself, but just plain computer communication with the ST/SC combo. If the people at...
Alan, I've read the responses to your question and haven't seen anyone mention the Nagler 17mm T4. It is probably my most used eyepiece, followed by my 9mm T6,...
Alan brings up a good point about your local sky conditions. I'm lucky in that I live on the west coast (San Diego), and though most of it isn't as dark as it...
Alan, I have both 13mm and 9mm Nagler T6 that I use with my 11" Starmaster, and I always leave the Paracorr in the telescope. I use the 13 more than the 9,...
Alan, You already have the Paracorr, so that bumps you up a letter in my gradebook. :) You have done most of your homework, so you get a "B" - the only thing...
Hi again, I wanted to make sure I understood the 9mm eyepiece size recommendation by looking at the astronomical terminology for the size of an object I'm...
At the local public obs I use a 20 Nagler for finding things, and then usually a 12 Nagler for "zooming in" on smaller objects like globulars. But that's with...
Hi Alan, I have a 14.5" f/4.3 Starmaster, and my favorite eyepiece on globs is my 9mm Nagler Type6. This gives me 176X, and is perfect. Doing some quick math...
Hi all, It has been a while since I've visited the group and thought this would be the place to ask an eyepiece question. I bought my Starmaster 12.5" f4.5 6...
This topic seems to be resurfacing more often these days! A fellow Starmaster owner, Jerry Merz wrote a plugin for the Mac OS Version of Starry Night Pro V6....
Hey folks, As we speak, a very seasoned astronomer is testing the USB Beta version of Skyfi and Voyager software from Carina Software for a ServoCat-Argo Navis...
... Not quite. There are one or two programs that work with the Sky Tracker/Sky Commander. I wish I knew how they did it. ... Not yet. One member here...
As many of you know, StarMaster Telescopes do not work with any telescope control software like Starry Night, The Sky, Sky Tools, Maxim DL, and all others. ...
Duane, Thanks for your report and the photos you sent. The really amazing thing is that when you get one of the new Paracorrs, your big F/3.3 scope is going...
Mike - I spent a few nights observing with Rick on the 30" F/3.3. We had views of Jupiter that were simply jaw dropping. The myth that only slower scopes are...
All this talk of big scopes with great mirrors really makes me want one. I was talking with the wife last night about getting a 28". Well that didn't go over...
Well, this was a rather intesting weekend at Chiefland Astronomy Village (CAV) when it comes to looking up and using huge portable telescopes. How about...
Bill, John V. can help you cope with your sleep devripation or deprivation (at least temporarily) because he has approximately five gallons of coffee brewed...
John VeDepo, Please forgive my transposition of the V and D in your last name in my most recent post. I'd like to blame it on sleep devripation (uh,...

Hi, Rick called last night and said they were have a great time. Apparently tonight is supposed to be better. How can you not have a great time with a 30"...
Mike, I observed with Rick and Carol last night. We were using Gary Beyerstein's 20" f/3.7 SM. Despite poor sky conditions, we all had a good time. ...
