Interesting obs between the Plossl and Nagler, perhaps the fewer elements in the plossl result in less light scatter offering a subtly cleaner view?

Yes the Homunculus is certainly unique. Perhaps the most foreign looking visual target.
Re plossl, I do suspect it has a bit more throughput as it contains a lot less glass. The image generally looked very clean in both and the view in the 13T6 is still spectacular.
