I'm in the process of upgrading my eyepiece collection. Currently I own GSO Superview oculars which are quite good, but there are better. I have already bought...
Yeah, I'm not sure where they got that music from. I'll just say that it's "different." :-) I'm typically on the Sunday closest to Full Moon, since other ...
... Both of these would be good choices. As far as I know, these Baader Hyperions aren't available yet in North America, but they look very interesting. ... ...
... I thought so too, until I went to the Baader web site, and noticed that one of the features they tout is that each eyepiece has two focal lengths, which...
Cal, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. I was curious how much the image might be degraded from the first surface mirror (Plan on getting...

... Hi Robert, Question: In your book you seemed to prefer using a 2X Orion Ultrascopic barlow along with your 14mm and 10mm Pentax eyepieces. What advantages...
Well the Orion Starblast was sold, but the buyer didn't want to pay for shipping. So The Starblast is still mine. I don't know why the thing is so hard to move...
... This was indeed my problem. The 21mm and 7mm are fine, but in between them the 13mm is too long and the 8mm too short. My favourite in this range is the...
What about the Siebert 9 or 11 mm Super Wide Angles for $150? http://www.siebertoptics.com/SiebertOptics-1.25in-eyepieces-ultra.html. Anyone tried these? ...
... I concur with this, John. Although I also have several intermediate eyepieces, my primary choices with observing with my 18" are: 22-mm Panoptic 17-mm...
... Well, they will, but I don't think jels are made to the level of optical precision used for telescope eyepiece filters. I'd stick with the filters. -Paul...
... Yes, exactly. I was commenting on what we used after the query about what we'd said in Astronomy Hacks. I wish Orion had a 10mm Stratus. The gap between...

Meade just announced it's own take on the "personal planetarium" (aka the Celestron SkyScout). Info from the Astronomics web site: http://tinyurl.com/2oxo8q ...
... They throw the number 30,000 objects around a lot, asking who knows an astronomer who can identify 30,000 objects. Well let me ask them this, who knows...
