Hi Graeme,

The Vixen LVW's are excellent eyepices and you will be very happy with them. Don't forget about TV Radians on the used market. These can be picked up at good prices now that the Delos is around. In the shorter focal lengths these have more focal length options than the LVW's and if forced to separate them in terms of optical performance I would give the nod marginally to the Radians over the LVW's, but they are both excellent and a clear grade above Baader Hyperions and the like. Some of the ES eyepieces are very good but their eye relief and comfort isn't quite there for mine and their EOF performance in a 6"/F5 newt will not be near as good as the Radian or the LVW.

Cheers
John B
