Astroscan eyepiece?

Posted By Harry Aiello

Any ideas on the best type or style eyepiece in the 20mm range. Thought I would stick with about a 5mm exit pupil. This is my first experience with a widefield scope.
Thanks

Viewing conditions

Posted By Harry Aiello

Will mediocre optics produce near perfect star images if the viewing conditions are good enough? This is kind of a questionable question, I know.

Sidewalk test danger

My neighbor told me if I was going to throw all my stuff away then he was going to start using his porch light again. Not good.

I made a 2" to 1-1/4 adapter and extender for this scope but left the full wall thickness. Can I use a laser to check if the adapter is cutting off the light? I will try to get a pic of the adapter in a minute. I'm not very good at this picture thing.
