Doc Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Our EMS scope is nearing completion, unfortunately we do not have any eyepieces to go with the scope. So I'm here asking for any donations of cheap beginners eyepieces or a barlow that you can afford to give away. Remember this is a starter scope so nothing grand please. Thank you.

Brantuk Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I must have something I don't use any more - let me check out what I've got - I already gave away one or two stock eyepieces and a barlow but sure there's something left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Blimey! If anyone has any other eye pieces they don't want and which are better than the ones which came with my scope i'd be up for buying them! Something in the 10mm range, upper teens or lower 20s and i'd be game for trying something higher! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Mick i have a 2" 2 x barlow (altair) Is this any good for you? Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks everyone, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity. A 25mm, 20mm and 10mm will be an awesome start. As these are 1.25" ep's Sheila unfortunately your 2" barlow will be no good but thanks anyway. Would you mine posting them to me, I'll pay for postage via paypal as a gift. Daz 25mm Tom 20mm Eddy or Stephen 10mm Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Might it be worth putting a pic of the loan scope in the loan scope thread so people get an idea of scale I assess whether they actually have room to store it? I just remember totally underestimating how big it was as a total newb just looking at pictures on the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
