Do you usually end up at a specfic focal length with those two eyepieces?messier 111 wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2025 2:36 pm the ones I use the most now are my two Svbony 7-21 zoom, 2 x Baader Hyperion Universal Zoom Mark IV 8-24mm 68° with my binoviewer .

Bought these on a local buy and sell in 2020 for $60 CDN each. The Antares is a total planet-killer at 15mm with its 5 element lens, and the two "volcano-tops" from the early 80's are not far behind for performance. Funny how every good eyepiece I have is made in Japan, much like my fracs.
Well Mike, you're making me yearn for a clear and warmer night and healed ribs. Wonder which will happen first?

So with the binos and the variable, what focal length do you end up at.messier 111 wrote: Sun Jan 26, 2025 2:40 pmwith my binoculars yes.Mike Q wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2025 3:42 pmDo you usually end up at a specfic focal length with those two eyepieces?messier 111 wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2025 2:36 pm the ones I use the most now are my two Svbony 7-21 zoom, 2 x Baader Hyperion Universal Zoom Mark IV 8-24mm 68° with my binoviewer .

with the lunt no, it depends mainly on the sky conditions.
for the moon about 10mm, the planets at 7mm.Mike Q wrote: Sun Jan 26, 2025 2:43 pmSo with the binos and the variable, what focal length do you end up at.messier 111 wrote: Sun Jan 26, 2025 2:40 pmwith my binoculars yes.Mike Q wrote: Sat Jan 25, 2025 3:42 pm
