Guest Steve Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well, I got some Baadar Solar film too today today! And the Solar Continuum filter. And the Neodymium filter. Of course, there is the 2" WO Diagonal and the Baader Clickstop zoom with the 2xBarlow. And a Canon T adapter. Oh, nearly forgot - and the C9.25 on the CGEM mount. Also expecting some trouble over where the hell I'm going to keep it all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell 14 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) ED100 arrived today along with an extension for my AZ4. It was even clear enough for a couple of hours to try it all out. Very impressed, best views of Venus and Saturn to date and rock solid on the mount....happy camper! Edited May 10, 2012 by Caldwell 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kheldar Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The last pair of Celestron UpClose 10x50s from DN18 Primary use : eldest will take them to Spain to view the Venus transit via projection (decided against filtering them when I won't be with her.) Secondary use : will keep me out of trouble whilst the main rig is imaging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Doctor Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 A WO Megrez 72mm ED refractor for use as a small grab and go and guide scope when I start imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) nice purchase there Dave, the 72 would make a nice wide field imaging scope too. once you start down the dark side, forever will in dominate your destiny, who said that ? l.o.l.

BAZ Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Lacerta dual speed focuser upgrade for the 300P: A really nice bit of kit for the money, and works very well. A nice addition to a Dob I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DaveJW Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 A really nice bit of kit for the money, and works very well. A nice addition to a Dob I think. It certainly feels like a quality product, might even get to try it out this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Doctor Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yes Lord Vader I can feel the darkside All I need now is some clear skies If it all goes to plan I might get the WO 0.8 field flattener/reducer III thrown in as well for half the price of the new ota and reducer, although as a second hand item it's not the latest version with DDG, but the scope and reducer are in mint condition. Stephen I take your point on the use as a guidescope, the imaging from such a small scope , from the pictures that I've seen taken with the scope are amazing.

red dwalf Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 i`d get the reducer as well Dave if it`s for sale with the scope, will give you a wider field of view and make the scope faster for imaging, cutting down the time needed to get a nice image. don`t worry about the scope not being the latest version with the ddg, it`s a bit of a gimick in my apinion anyway, and i don`t believe they work that well, i`ve here a few storys about the lcd screen not working properly and i can`t really see the point of it anyway.
