2" WideField EP on a budget

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Tom, as Don and Chris have indicated, because of your VERY FAST f/ratio you are going to need high quality eyepieces to really enjoy the views... (believe me when I say, the "spacewalk feeling" is NOT that nice if what you see is bent out of shape towards the edges...)
I have not had a chance to take a look through a Pentax XL 40mm, even though I've heard great things about them.
I personally have the UO 40mm MK-70, and love it, but I also have an f/10 scope, so edge sharpness is NOT as affected as in your scope...

IMHO, you might end up spending about $200+ for a GOOD quality eyepiece, that will deliver what you ask for...



Clear skies!

Does this seem fishy?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Hmmm, putting together the prices of those accessories, we come close to the $1000 mark... (the question is, is the scope included in the sale? if not, then why picture it?)

My best Jupiter Until Now.

Nicely done Alvaro, specially for handheld!
You captured a nice amount of detail & color...

Any idea of how many frames you stacked?


Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!

Great shot Larry! nice detail & color!

I played a bit with it, adjusted levels, contrast & applied a little unsharp mask filter, hope you like it...

Toucam 840 first light

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Great shot Jose!

I'm sure we will be getting even better shots once you get fully acquainted with your NEW webcam...

I'm seriously contemplating getting me one too, even though I've been able to get nice shots with the Vesta Pro I have, it seems the Toucam is a bit more sensitive...


Keep it up, my friend! and thanks for sharing!
