Hi folks,
I've finally ordered a Baader Hyperion 17mm eyepiece for digiscoping with my Celestron Regal F-ED 80 (it's not here yet... I'm getting antsy, 'tho' I just ordered it last evening |;|). I noticed that the Hyperion has the option of using one or more finetuning rings, which as nearly as I can tell alter the length of the barrel of the eyepiece, thereby altering the focal length of the eyepiece.
So, a couple of questions:
1. I know from folks' experiences on this forum that the Hyperion 17 works well with my scope... does anyone have any experience with those finetuning rings and the Hyperion/Regal combination?
2. In general, what, if any, degradation to the quality of the view might be caused by using these finetuning rings? Are there any general cautions/experiences you might share?
Thanks in advance for your help,
