received new zoom

After a long wait (supply chain issues), I received my second baader planetarium eyepiece.

This time, the 8-24 zoom. The Hyperion Universal Zoom Mark IV with soft detents at 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 mm.

I've tried a loaner to see if it would be helpful, useful, during double star observing. 

I was impressed.

So I decided to get my own from the nice people at KW Telescope-Perceptor. baader is so smart! It's such a treat that they consider the many applications that this might be used in and provide many adapters and little accessories to enable those experiences.

Worth the wait.
