the weather here has been horrid. i haven’t had my telescope out in weeks. i’m starting to think that the observing gods aren’t happy with me.
while i’m waiting for the sky to clear up i decided to pick up a new eyepiece. i picked up a 5 mm televue nagler t6. in my portaball this eyepiece should give me about 317 power with 12 mm of eye relief and an 82° apparent field of view. i love the feeling of flying through space in the nagler eyepieces. that 82° field of view is a truly amazing sight, nothing beats it.
i’ve got the low end covered with my 35 mm panoptic, the high end covered with my 5 mm & 9mm naglers … now i just need to fill in the middle. that 22 mm televue panoptic is looking like a good candidate.
