I've had this eyepiece a week now and had a quick look over a couple of nights.. between moon ,clouds ,next doors security light etc.
Into the focuser and straight to antares , the only thing visible amoungst the clouds.. very relaxed and contrasty view .. across to M4 and the moons out from the clouds to now :lol:.. lots of detail there despite all the skylight ..the wide field and pinpoint sharpness of everthing is really absorbing on its own.. I spotted a few faint doubles here and there that would just never of showed up at all in the gso plossel.. ring nebula , jewel box and the butterfly cluster then back inside..Well i havn't had a decent look really with this eyepiece yet to be honest but so far its been a stunning intro into what to expect with some friendlier nights.
I DO have to get used to eye placement while viewing though.. I get disstracted to easily chaseing objects around the wide field .
I may have to do a little tweaking of my spring tension ? .. I noticed a couple of times
down towards the horizen the extra weight of this fair sized chunk of glass is
borderline to holding a view steady .
take care ns:)
