Guest northernstar Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow, just had a shock. Received an email from Telescope House announcing some "hot deals". I have dealt with them on many occasions so thought I would have a look. They have some Explore Scientific ep's on sale which I have been tempted to experiment with someday. I clicked on the 9mm 120fov and imagine my shock at seeing the price of £1,019!!! Not that I could ever see myself buying one but at that price they must be an absolute dream to use. Has anyone used these before....just out of curiosity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I have observed with the ES 14mm 100 degree eyepiece in my old 10" Schmidt Newtonian and was so gobsmacked by the views that I just had to get the 25mm 100 degree and the 9mm 120 degree. I will be using the new eps as soon as the dob is fully modded, and will let you know if they are any good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northernstar Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hmmmmm, I might have to start saving afterall. I need to finalise my choice of upgrade scope first which I am hoping to buy next year, then if the ep's are suitable for it I might have to invest in one......my wife never needs to know the price!

BAZ Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Are they those £50 American one's? Nudge Nudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northernstar Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I usually apply "the wife tax" on scope stuff I buy....I take off 50% and tell her that is the price! At over a £1000 though for the ep's I am going to have to get really creative... [emoji1] Edited July 26, 2014 by northernstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northernstar Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Luckily, we have our own email and bank accounts anyway, so it isn't really an issue. She has no idea what things cost when it comes to astro gear so I can usually get away with a bit if truth bending! [emoji56] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Damn, I knew I shouldn't have signed for them when they were delivered.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
