[QUOTE="Musoman, post: 1674173, member: 80278"] Lovely - cheers So part 5 is only needed if i want to attach a 1.25" eyepiece, and if i prefer a 2" eyepiece, i wont need part 5 In fact, you say the same for part 4, and useful if i want use 1.25" bits, but again if i stick with 2", is this another part, along with part 5, that i may not need to use ? Just assembled some of those bits and i got some focus on a car 100 yards up the road, and although things are the right way up, i think left to right is a bit weird, but i cant hold the scope steady enough to tell, and its very dark out. I can tell aready that i do not like the 90 degree bit. ( Part 2 a+b ) Going back to part 5b, i guess i need it at the moment, as the 5mm and 20mm eyepiece chrome tubes fit that 5b part. So i guess i have 1.25" eyepieces. Once i get the camera mount MAX dslr, i presume i can do away with these eyepieces, as you say - i only need part 6 ? Also, the 5mm and 20mm eyepieces actually unscrew from their repsective chrome tubes. Is there a benefit to this ? I must admit, things are getting a bit more exciting now i've managed to see through it :king: Sorry Paul - hope this isnt too boring for you. I cant imagime how many times you've had to tell people this stuff [/QUOTE]
