New Meade EP's vs. Televue vs. Pentax

Indeed Paul, competition is always good for the consumer, as it normally brings more choices and better prices...

We'll see how good these new eyepieces are as soon as they come out... we'll be watching...

Great shot Wes!
It is amazing to think about the ACTUAL size of these craters... if you just stop and compare them to something you know about here on Earth, they are simply HUGE!


Thanks for sharing!

Alan, well done!
It is quite an interesting design, not sure if you just came out with it, or you followed somebody else's idea/plan, but if it works for you then nothing else matters... right?
NOTE: If anybody made fun of it, I'm sure nobody wanted to hurt your feelings... this is a pretty friendly group... and they joke around a bit sometimes.

What prompted you to do this design instead of a roll-off roof? any trade-offs? problems that you see? or things you would like to improve on?


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!
