With typical British timing, it is now raining, so I can't use it as I would wish, but an hour of playing with it on a tripod set up indoors demonstrates what a superb piece of kit it is. I'll write a full review of it when I have used it "in anger" for a while, but what I can say for now is that dealing with Larry Patriarca from UA has been a pleasure. His advice has been sound and delivery was within a very reasonable time (8 weeks from firm order) for a non-stock item coming across the pond. Dispatch was (through no fault of his own) a few days later than he had initally intended, and he "made it up" to me (entirely of his own volition) by including an extra accessory. I would also like to thank those of this group whose advice was so valuable when I began investigating mounting options for this binocular. -------------------- Stephen Hindsight: The only truly diffraction-limited system Post Extras:       night watch Carpal Tunnel Reged: 02/06/04 Posts: 2443 Loc: Salem, MA Re: Universal Astronomics T-Mount.

I desire a p-mount, but for a variety of reasons I have been unable to make a decision. Enjoy your new mounting....when the rain clears! -------------------- NW Oberwerk BT100 Oberwerk 20x80 Deluxe II Post Extras:       Anonymous Unregistered Re: Universal Astronomics T-Mount.

Is it simply a shorter version of the Unimount? Post Extras:       night watch Carpal Tunnel Reged: 02/06/04 Posts: 2443 Loc: Salem, MA Re: Universal Astronomics T-Mount.

Is it simply a shorter version of the Unimount? As far as I can tell, yes. The T has more than sufficient travel to permit viewing from below the horizontal to the zenith without changing the body position. -------------------- Stephen Hindsight: The only truly diffraction-limited system Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 4 registered and 13 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
