Raymond TSE 寫:Waiting for Dxxxx user review and comment.
Honestly, I don't expect much from this because I have used LS100T with LS100F in double stack mode, and it didn't blow me away as I saw all the details in single stack mode anyway. However, many of my students really find it easier to see the details of the double stack image, especially for beginners. So this DSII is really for them.
However, I am sure that the Daystar Quark eyepiece is not for me. The August issue of Astronomy Now has a review and it says that it takes 15 minutes for the etalon to reach the correct temperature. Also, my students and I enjoy full disc view much more than high magnification view. This cannot be delivered by the Quark eyepiece unless one uses a small refractor with very short focal length.
I will have 5 combinations to try and compare:
1. LS100F single
2. LS100T single
3. LS100T+LS100F double stack
4. LS152T single
5. LS152T+DSII double stack
DSII is really expensive and honestly it is probably not worthwhile at all if I don't have so many students to share it with.
