Milk jug washersPosted By Jason Paoletti |
Sorry for the HUGE pic, but I wanted it clear.
BTW I used 2 washers on my Discovery 8" f/6 and feel it is perfect.

Mars in Six ScopesPosted By Jason Paoletti |
First night out with Mars last week I got about a 3.5.
Two nights ago I got a 5. Last night a 6. See a pattern here? This in an 8" f/6 Discovery. If only the seeing would settle down :-(

Good to know my 8" dob was just about on during a good night of seeing. Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

LE EyepiecesPosted By Jason Paoletti |
I've never used one, but the 7.5mm and 5mm and probably the shorter focal lengths only have 9mm of eye relief. I don't think that is long enough for eye glasses. For not much more you could pick up TV Radians or Pentax ep's. Even less if you can find them used here.
For your second question, 9mm is very comfortable eye relief for non glasses wearers.Unless you have astigmatism you should be able to focus an ep without your glasses although anybody looking in the ep after you would have to refocus.
Hope that helped,
Jason

Mars Filter questions? Here's your answer!Posted By Jason Paoletti |
Try the Baader Contrast Booster if you can. It's supposed to be an improvememt over their Moon and Skyglow filter. I have one and love it.

I think that's a great shot. I would love to get something like that with my set-up.

UO Orthos – Standard or HD?Posted By Jason Paoletti |
Most reviews I've seen say if you already have the old style then it's not worth it to replace them with the HD's. However if buying new get the HD's. There is a good comparison review on CloudyNights.
