I've used it in my dob, Mak and refractor. It performs well in all 3. Of course I don't use the 24mm setting. That's actually no better then 20-22mm settings.
Naturally I'm curious regarding the Pentax all the same. My question is, does it manage to maintain the 60 degree field through all the magnification settings?

I think whats happened here Adrian.... the odd bad one has slipped through QC.
Edggie on Cloudy Nights and many others love theirs despite owning Pentaxes Deloi etc; So good ones must compare favourably in image quality ...they cant all be lying...so most must be very good..only needs a few ordinary samples to destroy an excellent reputation.
Ive got Deloi, Orthos etc,
and my contrasty Orion Zoom is not beneath me to use on planetary..the SEEING is the big thing..trumps all!
