Default Sky at Night Equinox-80 review.

Hi John,

There is a review of the new Sky-Watcher Equinox-80 in the May issue of
Sky at Night magazine and it states that it was tested using a 20mm
(0.8-inch) and 65mm (2.5-inch) eyepieces, amongst other things. Surely
that should read a 6.5mm eyepiece.

Regards,
John.


I wrote the review which was subsequently re -edited by someone with
little knowledge of astronomical terms.

Why they can't just leave the original copy alone and trust us who know
- I don't know!

The original text clearly stated:
a 20mm and a 6.5mm eyepiece

Now you see what we sometimes have to put up with :-)

Best wishes

Paul
