I have just received my new 9.25 today. Nice little Tube! I guess one of the first things people do when they get a 9.25 is ditch the diagonal, and get a new one. I need a couple recommendations so I can cash in on a decent Diagonal. It sucks because I have to wait until Monday or Tuesday for the Mount, and the sky is Sooo nice and clear tonight grrrr. I have the tube on a tv tray right now, and I caught a couple glimpses of the moon lol. Anyways, I am willing to spend about 100-150 US dollars for a diagonal, also I will be looking for a new finder.
On a side note... I don't know if anyone here has tried this but I have a Gen. 2 ½(D-121M) Night Vision scope, and when I look into the sky with it, I see TONS of stars that I would Never normaly see with binoculars or my naked eye. It really is quite cool, even though the stars look bright green. I think I might mess around with it and see how it works to find some objects.
I don’t suppose I could do some collimation through a back window, the window probably distorts it right? Any help would certainly be helpful. Thanks.
