Surplus Shed EP feedback

Posted By Gerry Feulner
I had to send the one I bought back. The field curvature was so bad that I couldn't get a sharp focus. Spend the extra bucks and get a Meade or Orion eyepiece. You'll be better off.

laser collimator

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Chris; Go to "google" and search "SCT collimation". The first one listed give a detailed explaination on how to collimate your SCT. I've used this method and it works beautifully. You don't really need a laser to collimate an SCT IMO.

Is it just me or is Al sucking us dry($)....

Vladimir:
I think you DID start a controvesy, I agree that the prices on Al's eyepieces are high but this is one case where I believe you "get what you pay for". I have five of them and think they're great. If the prices are too high, you might find some good deals on Astromart, or do what I do and attend the NEAF in NY and buy some of his "seconds". I just bought one of his Plossls for a paltry $25 ($80 eyepiece) and I'll be darned if I can find anything "wrong" with it. Last year I bought one of the Radian eyepieces for $150. Just my 2 cents worth. Gerry Feulner

Bob, That's very nice second attempt. I just bought a new digital camera and "steady pics" bracket from Orion and can't wait for a good night. I live on the east coast and the weather has been terrible for a week. Hope to post a first timer soon.

Worth the price?

Posted By Gerry Feulner
Dave- If you're close enough to go to the Neaf in Suffern N.Y. in May, Al Nagler will probably be selling "seconds" again this year. Last year I bought an 8mm Plossl for $25.00. His Radian seconds go for $150.00, just to name two.

Charlie- I plan on posting a review about my scope in more detail (see my post right before yours) as soon as this "flippen" weather gets warner and we get some clear skies here in Jersey. Gerry

Emery- nice post. You probably won't have any trouble seeing E&F in the trapezium on a steady dark night. I've seen E with no problem and a hint of F on a steady but not dark night (almost impossible here in Bergen County N.J). Gerry

Sorry Brian- It's all my fault. I bought a new C11 OTA 2 weeks ago. You can blame me Mike! Gerry
