This was the first eye piece that I ever bought which has been both ell cared for and at the same time treated a bit aggressively.
It has been well cared for in that apart from a ring of dots on the 2” barrel from the focuser licking screws it looks pristine. The aggressiveness came from the cleaning of the lens with my t-shirt in its early days (which at the time I thought was appropriate). It wasn’t but looking at it 9 years later on, there are 3-4 tiny marks on the coatings, pin prick size (shown in the second photo).
I’ve owned this since new and only selling as my eyes don’t work well with wide field views (astigmatism) so unless I get a F/20 scope the exit pupil is too large to get enjoyable views. It worked well with my old Meade LX200 which was never acclimatised so the large stars hid everything :lol:
Comes with all of the original stuff. The tiny coating scuffs don’t affect the views which, without my astigmatism, would be great ;)
