Guest Cazz Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Eddys SPC900, the reason for this learning curve is - after actually spending time observing and not old dog sitting, I've found the brightness triggers my migraines. Am I the only one who is also light sensitive in the dark as well as the day? :-/ I'm not sure if using both eyes would be better for my head, I guess that would help with my balance issues. :-$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Not really a purchase, since I haven't yet paid. Graham insisted I make sure it works first. It is an anodised aluminium bracket with a SkyWatcher shoe on top, which clamps onto the bar on my 25x100 binoculars (and probably 20x80s) to allow any finder to be used. Shown with my laser and RDF. You can even fit an optical finder provided it has a SkyWatcher fitting. Another first by ASTROTEC Nice job Graham, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
