Es 82*

Have just taken possession of my new Explore Scientific 30mm 82* EP. First impressions: beautifully boxed and presented, and if weight is commensurate with build quality, this thing should be top drawer stuff - it weighs a ton, and dwarfs my current GSO Superview 30mm. Hopefully it will also outperform it optically, and if Brisbane's sky would permit one cloudless night soon, I'll give a first light report. Bought from Telescope House in England for what appeared to be a pretty reasonable price compared to the US market - the only negative to the whole transaction was that I also ordered a 4.7mm in the same range, but they somehow managed to send me an 11mm instead so I'm probably looking at a 2-3 month turnaround timeframe to get it exchanged.
