Going from the very big to the very small

#1 Post by MZsarko » Sun Oct 25, 2020 7:41 pm

I picked up a AmScope T690B off of craigslist yesterday and I am jazzed to have something to do when the weather sucks for my astrophotography. I ordered an EOS adapter and a cleaning kit from AmScope last night and am looking forward to checking out this sight for some photo ideas.
I really like the darkfield condensers that came with this scope. Can't wait to get my camera hooked up rather then sticking my phone up to the eyepiece.

Just purchased the same AmScope T690B with 14 meg USB 3 camera / $300.00 Canadian.

Used but not abused.

As a hobby precious metals refiner I want to examine the various salt crystals.

Scope is home, missing the 20X eyepieces but came with Oil darkfield, slides and covers, three filters. Everything works very smooth, no weird noises and no free play.
