James - the 20T5 has slightly tight eye relief, but otherwise is the perfect EP. It is so light, at a guess probably less than twice the weight of a T6 EP, or to put it another way, about half the weight of my 13E. I use it with Paracorr, as otherwise coma is noticable at the peripery of the FOV when looking at OC's. It is a great magnification at my focal length, it gets more use than any other EP in my kit.
The Terminagler comes out if I am coasting the heavens...some nights I like to go for a wander through the LMC or around Carina, for example. There is no better EP to do this. Under suburban skyglow the 31T5 produces an unfortunately light sky colour, contrast is not what you might hope for. Under dark skies, however, it really comes into its own. I would never part with it.
Alexandra - sounds like Jupiter made the whole night worth it. NGC 1360 is big, isn't it?! Under suburban haze in a smaller scope it can look light a non-descript rugby ball.
Hope you guys have another wonderful night.
