I wonder if its the start of a new line? What have they done to make it so good? Is it basically a Nagler or something else?

It’s a great eye piece that’s all I know
The technical details of the internal optical train for the Apollo 11 eye piece are not available , maybe there’s a reason for this as it was a historical commemorative eye piece ( no details on no of elements , size and type , angles etc ) All you can access is the basic information on the eye piece ( attached ) I doubt very much it’s a tweaked Nagler
From what I’ve been told by reliable sources who know the Nagler family , they were never going to make a commercial line of these eye pieces.Only 300 were manufactured. I was lucky enough to secure one , only 6 were available in Australia
