After having to sell up everything from the 10" lx downwards, have now accumulated  some kit.


 


I am sure you have heard the phrase 'tackle queen',  well I have 'tackle tramped', have bargained and travelled  and with a bit of help from Pete who is a bad influence I now have (pillar extension for the ae inbound):---

Cheers Martyn, you wont believe what some of that lot cost....Gumtree can be useful!,  Got the Mak from Rhyl, 120 f9 crayford from Mold, and the phenix from Rotherham. Picked up the first two on way back from holyhead.


 


No real lemons in the ep department either, even the s\w 28mm aint that bad :lol: ...

Nice variety of kit there Damian, plenty of choice :)

You just need to top off your ep collection with that 5mm 110 degree you had your eye on for the high power stuff now. That would make 3 eps for each scope!!

You have nearly as much tackle as the shop we went to visit over Stockport way, and you even forgot to include your binoculars! :)

Thanks Pete, in no small way due to you. Missed the 32mm axiom!!! need quality low end mag and that 5.5mm to go on the low focal length tubes.  In particular the 127mm phenix and the 120mm s\w are great, we know how good the 152 is,  just need light on the Mak. Its clear at the mo but blowing a hoolie...


 


Think have more interesting bits than S\port, cant count binos, but forgot the az4.... Pillar extension inbound for the skytee ii....

I would be interested to see what you think to the of the Phenix, I have heard good things about them. It should be awesome on the Planets.

Hi Martyn, side by side with the skywatcher cannot put a pin between 'em. The Phenix is as  equally   good as the bresser 127L (having had a couple before). And only a smidge of ca.
