Hi Erick,

Dr Robert Werkmann actually had the first prototype at Coonabarabran over the past new moon period.

I tried it in my own 18"/F4.5 Obsession and in the 18"/F4.2 Ultra compact.

It's an excellent eyepiece and very similar in its performance to the 13mm ETHOS. It is a bit bigger and heavier than the 13mm ETHOS. It is clearly a better performer than any previous Chinese made eyepiece clone I have used. Considering the price saving it probably represents good value. Like the ETHOS the eye relief is too short to use with glasses on.

Cheers,
John B
