Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Filters:Orion Skyglow Broadband I have the 1.25" version that I use in my 14" f4.7 at a rural setting. Sky glow is not a major concern (community of 3000 is 3 miles to the south). Still, I get significant results. Objects such as M42 have significantly expanded boundaries. The Ring Nebula popped out far more clearly. I also use it in my Nighthawk for scanning. I pick up objects more readily with it in use.
Overall Rating: 9 Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Misc Accessories:Orion 9x50 Strait I have the right angled correct image version. I prefer it to the Rigel. It image is a tad skewed at the edges, but it does the job it is supposed to.The FOV great. The crosshairs come to focus. There is little more that I could want.
Overall Rating: 8 Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Misc Accessories:Orion Cheshire Eyepiece Worthwhile having. Though it is not an especially great value. I get good results with it when used in conjunction with a laser. I use the Laser first to adjust the secondary. Then I use the Cheshire to adjust the primary. The results are pretty fast and as accurate as I require.
Overall Rating: 6 Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Eyepiece Reviews:Celestron Plossl 26mm I have used the Celestron 26mm Pl for years. I tend use use scopes with a ratio of f/4.7 to f/6. I cannot think of any vices that it has. It is one of the workhorse eps in my collection.
Overall Rating: 10 Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Telescope Reviews:Stellarvue AT1010 (OTA)
This is scope # 5 for me, and I am pretty impressed. It does what I bought it for. That is, it serves as a grab and go alternative for my 14" dob. It arrived within a few days of my order. I am still getting used to it. So far nothing has challenged the optics, but I honestly have not cranked up the magnification that far. The weather has been rotten. The Seibert 34mm is a great match for it. I have never had a reason to use the red dot finder than came with it.
