+Bino-viewer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 those 24mm Panoptic eyepiecs are lovely, Thanks Rob. Got them for the Mk V. They'll be my low power work horses hopefully (38.5x mag) They are quite a bit chunkier than the 19s, which are my favourite eyepieces. They are not a matched pair as such. I got the other 24Pan off eBay in December for £139 !! It was mint, only 2 years old and unmarked. Couldn't pass it by, and i was the only bidder ! I tested them together in daylight the other day, and didn't detect any differences. Televues quality control is pretty good i guess..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 You are getting some really nice kit together Rob, I'll bet you can't wait for a good night, or day! I would imagine the quality of the TV's is that good, my eye;s wouldn't be able to see any difference. You need Eagle eyed Eddy to have a look, his eye's have remarkable resolution. +Bino-viewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best be flaming clear!!!!! Nice one, keep an eye on http://www.spaceweather.com which has some awesome info on solar activity, it also names all the sunspots and gives a live feed, so you can check there prior to setting up.

red dwalf Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I was so close to buying one Kim you wouldn't believe it, had a good talk with flo but then I thought about a atik one which atik were selling at the astrofest show with lrgb filters for a couple of hundred quid more than a atik 460. Started to make my head hurt, I think the 460 would have suited my imaging scope better with the smaller pixels, but galaxy season will soon be here and most will fit the 414 chip well and I think I need the bigger pixels to grab as many photons as possible in my slightly light polluted area. Very impressed with it so far in the ha channel. Nick got a lovely deal on a atik 383L at the show also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Likewise Tom ! My first FF camera, but i've gone down the Sony route : an A7S. I'm really excited about this camera. Had to sell a load of stuff to fund this, all my Fuji kit, and a few astro bits too. No plans for a telephoto as yet. Going for a 24-70 as my 'walk-about' lens, (arrives tomorrow) but also hope to invest in a nice wide-angle prime for astrophotography.
