Sky at Night Equinox-80 review.

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.

Hi 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

Dave,

Just got back - have now managed to image (nearly) all of the Messier
Objects ready for my Springer book. Thought I'd got them all but just
found I've missed M106! Had to be one didn't there! At least I can get
it from the UK - must get down to writing the book now and also getting
on with Nightscenes 2008!

Good to meet you and hope your trip was OK as well.

Paul
