So my wife is all excited because she's going to make her first expedition out to Lakeside with me on Sunday the 3rd. It will be her first telescope experience outside of our front yard in Sugarhouse. I have a fantastic 8" telescope, but I have yet to purchase any eyepieces other than the 25mm that came with it. I was wondering if anyone has a set or a couple spares I could borrow for Sunday night, not only to impress the wife with, but also to try and get a bead on which eyepieces I should be looking to purchase. I'd be willing to leave a cash deposit with the owner if necessary. I can use 1.25 or 2 inch eyepieces. Thanks in advance! Chrismo
Chrismo, I could probably make it out to Lakeside on Sunday night. I have a varying range of eyepieces. I could let you use them. They are all 1.25. I also have a set of filters that go with them. I'll know more about heading out there as the weekend gets closer. ++++++++++++++++++ Troy Davidson, KF7MTE www.istroyworking.com On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 9:23 AM, Chrismo <djchrismo@gmail.com> wrote:
