just like during my previous eyepiece review posting last year, i was poking around the new san diego astronomy association (sdaa) website and found some additional eyepiece reviews for folks that are interested. here are links to the newsletters (in pdf format) where the reviews take place as well as the eyepieces they reviewed.

  • january 2003 — 24.5mm meade super wide angle vs. 24mm televue panoptic
  • february 2003 — 14mm meade ultra wide angle (uwa) vs. 13mm televue nagler type 6
  • march 2003 — 6.7mm meade ultra wide angle (uwa) vs. 7mm pentax xl vs. 7mm televue nagler type 6
  • april 2003 — 20mm televue nagler type 2 vs. 22mm televue nagler type 4
  • august 2003 — 17mm televue nagler type 4 vs. 16mm televue nagler type 5
  • september 2003 — 8.8mm meade series 4000 ultra wide angle (uwa) vs. 9mm televue nagler type 6
  • october 2003 — 5mm televue radian vs. 5mm tmb super monocentric
  • november 2003 — 15mm televue panoptic vs. 14mm pentax xl
  • december 2003 — 22mm televue nagler type 4 vs. 20mm televue nagler type 5

like the last set of reviews, these to are quite thorough and very impartial.


aside, when people redesign websites (insert sdaa here) they really should take into account changing their namespaces. all links to their previous website are now going to be broken because they’re not backwards compatible. that is one thing i have always strived to do, that is unless the site is extremely old. another thing to do would be to modify your 404 not found page to be a script that when loaded grabs the context page they are looking for and maps it into the new hierarchy and presents them with a “sorry but the page you wanted has moved” page. anyhow, don’t get me started on web design, i’m libel to go on for hours.


anyhow, thanks for the great newsletters sdaa, keep up the great work.
