Hi,
extremely happy with it. Combined with my Nagler 31mm, I don't feel the need for any other eyepieces. Love being able to zoom in and out. Using it on a C11- the Nagler is most used, the zoom for any medium/high power stuff. Don't need wide angle for that...Would highly recommend the eyepiece.

cheers
Gary

I have two zooms, a Baader Hyperion (original) and a Celestron, both 8-24. Love 'em. Zoom is my most used eyepiece in all of my scopes.

The Baader, the original, not a Mark III or IV, is a bit too wide for my ETX 80 and 125 in that it blocks access to the screw to lock it in. On these I use the Celestron.

On my Orion XT8i I use the Baader for the wider FOV. I use the 2" collar rather than the 1.25 adapter that comes with the scope.

90% of the time I stay with the zoom rather than switching to a single FL eyepiece. very very convenient.
