    kowa 823 - Baader Hyperion MK4 zoom compatibility

    After reading the remarks of Mayoayo in his latest post I have tested the zoomeyepiece again. This time I didn’t use the A-adapter (meant for spotting scopes according tot the manual) . Without the A-adapter the eyepiece reaches focus at infinity for all magnifications. I thought that the...

    IS binoculars or scope for higher magnification?

    I would like to mention a suggestion Henri Link made earlier in another thread. You can add a doubler or trippler to your stabilized bino and you’ll get a stabilized telescope. Opticron 2x Universal Tele-Adapter for DBA VHD+ Monoculars 40955 (bhphotovideo.com) ZEISS 3x12 Mono T* Monocular...

    kowa 823 - Baader Hyperion MK4 zoom compatibility

    I have tested the Hyperion Mk 4 on the Kowa 823. It fits nicely. There is one important drawback. Like other astronomical zoom eyepieces used for terrestrial telescopes the Hyperion Mk 4 also doesn’t reach focus at infinity for all magnifications. Approximately beyond 40x you don’t get a sharp...

    experience with stay on case with Swaro ATS 80?

    I've got a Swaro STM 80 and use a Nikon ED82 (straight model) stay-on-case. This case is much cheaper than a Swaro case and it fits well. Both the Swaro and the Nikon have a heliacal focusser. The tripod attachment on the Swaro is at the same spot as the Nikon. This also applies for the...

    telescope as spotting scope

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned the Tele Vue 60° Everbrite 1¼" Diagonal. It is much better than the William Optics 2" 45 degree Erecting Prism. I guess Etudiant looked through it when he wrote about the absurd scope setup. http://www.televue.com/engine/TV3b_page.asp?id=62&Tab=_60EB#.VTODwiHtmko

    Nikon EDG focal length and EMA adapter

    The specifications in the Nikon Optics brochure don't mention eyepiece fieldstops.

    Nikon EDG focal length and EMA adapter

    The length of the Nikon EDG 65 is 313 mm while the ED III has a length of 279 mm. The size of the EDG 85 is about 15% more than the ED82. Because of this difference in size I thought that this would go together with a change in the focal length. Perhaps the Nikon USA representative, who now...

    Nikon EDG focal length and EMA adapter

    What is the focal length of an EDG 65 and 85 scope? I am not sure if it is 400 and 500 mm. That's less than the ED III and ED82. The EDG scopes are bigger than the fieldscopes. Has anybody used a fieldscope eyepiece with an EMA adapter on a EDG scope? Is the view in some way limited compared...

    Nikon premier 8x42 model 7502 + 7535

    Hi Brock, Thanks for your post. When looking for information about the HG and HG-L in old threads on BF I read some old posts of yours. After reading your post I remembered having an old Nikon sport optics brochure in dutch. This evening I digged this brochure up. It is dated april 2004. This...

    Nikon premier 8x42 model 7502 + 7535

    All of you, thanks for your contribution. The issue about eco glass helped me for searching in Birdforum for an answer to my questions. I have read several comments about the eco glas. On those comments I conclude that in both the HG and HG L line eco glass was used. There might be a change in...

    Nikon premier 8x42 model 7502 + 7535

    I saw these two models advertised, but it was not clear to me what the major differences between these models are? Can anybody tell me? Also I would like to know when model 7535 was put on the market. I quess that at that time it replaced model 7502. Leo

    I agree. Otherwise I put a new post in this categorie. Perhaps a bigger chance receiving any reactions.

    Nikon FSA

    Somewhere on the internet the Nikon FSA (spotting scope camera adapter, model nr 6916) is offered. By the way, on the picture it does not look like a FSA-L1 or L2. Can anybody tell me how it is used? What's the setup? I have some idea but I am not sure. What's the retailprice? regards, lflip

    I am not a member of astromart. Is that a problem? Yes, I still have the TV85. I have the impression you've checked me out.

    astro adapter Fieldscope DS eyepieces

    Hi Steve, I also couldn't find the ad on Ebay. Guess it's gone. I remember that this guy didn't offer the adapter with the DS eyepieces. I will wait for a reply from the Astromart guy.

    astro adapter Fieldscope DS eyepieces

    Hi Steve, Do you screw the eyepiece in the adapter, like you screw the eyepiece in the scope? If not how is the eyepiece attached to the adapter? By the way, I recently came across an ad on Ebay in which a Nikon Fieldscope DS eyepiece was offered. The ad mentioned that with a Delrin adapter...

    Leiden in January

    I live near Leiden. I know the surroundings of Leiden very well. I think that mr. Xenospiza has given a well account of the birding spots near Leiden. I would like to correct one thing. He mentions the A2 motorway. I think it should be the A4 motorway. I can add some practical things. You can...

    TV 60 vs Tak FS60

    The suggestion for a (considerable) cheaper astro scope will I take in to serious consideration. Although I am acquinted with the option to use astro eyepieces on a Pentax fieldscope, it did not come in to my mind to take this option into consideratrion. I've once tested a Nikon ED 82mm and...

    TV 60 vs Tak FS60

    I would like to thank both of you. Perhaps it’s good to reveal to you my thoughts for considering buying a TV/Tak 60 I’ve got a TV 85, but for longer walks it’s to heavy. I like the radian eyepieces much, since I have my glasses on while looking through the telescope. Also, there is a whole...
