Gary,

How about an update on your new Zoom? Like it? Mistake?



I have two zooms, a Baader Hyperion (original) and a Celestron, both 8-24. Love 'em. Zoom is my most used eyepiece in all of my scopes.

The Baader, the original, not a Mark III or IV, is a bit too wide for my ETX 80 and 125 in that it blocks access to the screw to lock it in. On these I use the Celestron.

On my Orion XT8i I use the Baader for the wider FOV. I use the 2" collar rather than the 1.25 adapter that comes with the scope.

90% of the time I stay with the zoom rather than switching to a single FL eyepiece. very very convenient.
