so you found them not to be as good as your naglers in the scope, thats interesting.!
Im itching to do a comparison of them on the 20"

but what a way to go. :)

Eamonn, I'm afraid I don't own a Powermate. In my previous post I was simply making a joke about how I had to buy the whole set so I wouldn't need to add a powermate to an already huge tall Focusser/paracorr/EP stack to fill in EP focal length gaps.

Dave, I am available for hire along with my Ethos collection. All I require is petrol money and some time with the Obsessionator ;) :laugh:

the obsessionator is also available for hire ;)
If youre ever down in the west with your setup, then give us a call in the club and we'll do a viewing session at a dark sky site.

Nice purchases Keith, well done! The shots with the Coke can are the 'money shots'. each eyepiece is worth how many coke cans?
