Guest twintin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well i couldnt wait. So with a 10 minute window of opportunity last night, i ran into the garden and pointed it at Jupiter (which rises just above the streetlight!) threw in a 20mm eyepiece....and wow what an instant improvement over the etx90! Jupiter sitting pretty with 4 moons in a line...Awesome. I just had time to fiddle with the right angle finder to get it reasonably lined up before the clouds rushed in Can't wait for a proper go with a bit of cool down time and maybe a bit of webcamming Happy Bunny time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twintin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Would it be worth investing in a 2" eyepiece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have a Hyperion Aspheric 31mm which is 2" I use in my Mak 180. It's excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
