Hello All,
? I picked up my 22" UC in October of 2019 and like most of us have
added a couple of tweaks. In my my case I have a 360 dew/light
shield made of Kydex. I need in my neighborhood. My location in the
eastern panhandle of West Virginia gives me Bortle 4.5 skies at best
(SQM 20.8-21.05). I also have a dark sky location 2 1/2 hrs away in
central WV (~ SQM 21.7). I've thoroughly enjoyed using this scope
after star hopping for over 30 years.? At this stage of my life I'd
rather spend more time looking at something than looking for
something(:>? Star hopping taught me the night sky however and I
treasure all the searches of the past. My current major observing
project is seeing all of the Herschel Objects (557 to go). I'm using
the baseline created by the Astronomical League Herschel Society
observing program. I enjoy reading what other are doing with their
UC's in this group.
Since Oct. 2019 I've logged 1,124 new observations so the scope is
definitely being used(:>
Clear Skies,
Matt Orsie - Hedgesville, WV

Hi Tom,
I own a UC22 too, the very first one indeed and I am an absolute
fan eventhough I have to drive one hour to my dark site in le
Perche region, south west of Paris. I am a visual observer too and
If you are, as I am, fan of very detailed images with tiny stars
all over the 100¡ã apparent field of view of Ethos or equivalent, I
have to say that adding a Starlight SIPS changed the way I enjoy
the views with my scope. This integrated televue paracorr in the
feather touch focuser, tuned once for all eyepieces, is just
awesome and highly simplifies the use of paracorr with all
eyepieces and gives you tiny stars all over the field.
