I have something that looks like a flip finder but instead of having a mirror that can flip up it has a prism which doesn't. All the fittings are 1.25" and it seems to be quite well made. Approx. 50% of the beam goes to each output so it must be for viewing a fairly bright object.
For the life of me I can't think what it would be used for.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks
Robert
Sounds like 'it was a good idea at the time' to me. I've a couple of those in the bits box.
:lol: :lol:
I saw something at Astrofest which was like a "turret eyepiece" sort of works like a filter wheel.
Could you use 2 eyepieces of different powers to get different views of the same object ?
Well, you could but would you want to. I'm tempted to think Duncan may be right...
I'll advertise it on fleabay - you never know, someone might buy it :)
