Doc Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Me too. That's two nights on a trot cannot remember the last time that happened. Only got to see Orion but managed to split the Trapezium into 5 distinct stars. catman161 and +Bino-viewer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi Mick I have not tried to split the Trapezium what eye piece did you use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I could see the split easily in the 6mm which gives me x140. The 4.5mm wasn't bad but the image wasn't as good as the 6mm this gave me x186. I did try the 3.5mm giving me x240 but no way, the image was all over the place. catman161 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Man I'm getting so jealous. I tried putting all my setup onto the new pier only to realise the azimuth peg insertion site on the pier adapter requires relocating. So I've sent the pier adapter off to Graham. Once that's back I am gonna get setup sharpish and try and grab any chance I can! I do enjoy reading about your efforts/achievements though guys-keep em coming [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
