3mm Radian

Well, I could not pass up the deal so I bought a 3mm Radian from a club member. We did a little trading and dealing.
He had a 40mm Orion Ortiluxe that I wanted for a spotter EP for a smaller scope (10" f/6) that could not use the 31mm Nagler. I had a Russell 2" 14mm XL 67° FOV EP that I saved when I sold off a lot of my EPs. He needed something of that F/L so we traded. I got the better end of it I guess, but that Russell is a very nice EP made with Pentax glass. He also had the 3mm Radian and his scopes would not allow that much power. We did sonme trading for that too and now my Televue case is completely full, not an inch of room left. I guess that is all for that one. I hope to be able to use it. I think that the Zambuto mirrors should be able to handle 500x on areally good night. Now to just get that really good night! wink

Floyd,

With your range of EP's you could swap off that barlow for something else. It doesn't look like you have much need for a barlow.

Hey Floyd,
I'm sure that 3mm will be quite useful with your Midnight Mistress. Good luck with "that really good night"! I was just checking out our 10-day forecast and we'll be observing nothing but rain, rain, rain until further notice. cwy
Nonetheless, it's good to be alive. 8)

Hi Lukman,
Thanks, I have taken a long time to get these together. I love the Televue line. I have others of course, but this is my family jewels box. smile
