UO HD Orthos

Well, I bought a 5-6-7mm UO HD Ortho set from a fellow Astromarter. I also bought a 12.5-18mm that I believe are Circle-Ts from an another Astromarter. The only other one I might get is a 9mm if they work out. The Eye Relief is not so good on those below 9mm, but since I don't wear glasses they will still work.
I wanted to try again the Orthos and the new 10" F/6 DOB will be a great scope for these planetary EPs as well.
I will give my test results on the UO HDs when I get the next chance to go viewing. Hopefully both sets will arrive before I go next. It will be interesting to give them a try. Never had the chance to check them out before.

I decided to make up a case for the Orthos. I had a small 10"x6" aluminum case that I had never used. Lined it with black car trunk liner material and made a wooden EP tray for it. Nothing like using up old stuff that was sitting around. wink
