Impressive Televue collection Brian. I am looking for a Televue Nagler 2.5 and 3.5mm. Naglers are just the right size and greater field of view.

It is in 2 sections , still learning to resize using W10 .
Comments welcome as usual .
My Grab and Go City eps..not a Nagler in sight..poor me!
Best Eyepieces I've ever looked through for CLARITY and CONTRAST ..KKs very good ..but these another level!
Its like theres NO glass in your way..in my Naglers, Delos ..you can see your looking through a lot of glass..Clarity not quite the same in my view..
The Vixen NLVs...some are surprising and clear...not so with most SLVs I tried.
TAK Orthos and TOE 3.3MM ..Ultimate Doubles and Planetary EPs Ive tried so far..I just see more when the seeing is very good. ..very ,very enjoyable EPs, with outstanding comfort, build and ergonomics...even the 6mm!
Tak Abbe 12.5mm ...my most used.
PS:Even my wife and the neighbours can tell the difference..and even after a few beers and there no experts!...
The EDs are for the neighbours and friends to use on the Moon, Planets..very good clear and honest eps, notably below 15mm..even survive tomato sauce, meat pie pieces, and accidental droppings by semi drunk friends and neighbours when I have a BBQ...perfect B Set.

Reason: Adding
The LVWs are highly regarded for their well-corrected field of view even in fast scopes. A great collection to have for sure. I only have the 13 and 22mm left, at the lower end of the F/L scale I wanted something lighter and smaller. I find myself juggling low F/L eyepieces and Powermates often, and these things combined with a barlow are pipe bombs! The 22mm is a gem I most certainly will keep.

Nice collection from someone who knows about eyepieces ..a JAPANESE UNITRON 12.5 KELLNER I had with my 4inch UNITRON was soo sharp on axis..I wished I'd never sold it or the scope!
It's somewhere in Jambero last I heard.
Interesting. I've been wanting to get back into BV-ing. Got a pair of 12mm XFs and decent longer FL plossls but my BV is a bit of a dud. Or at least it needs some TLC I haven't had time to give it. Appears to be a well made Chinese unit (ordered from a US dealer) but the collimation is off.
The weather here’s been average so I thought I would clean some lenses that needed it. So here they are!
From the back I have my wide fields, they have a good range. (all keepers)
Small Masu collection to the left, extender and barlow to the right.
My planetary selection in the middle.
The tiny ones in the front row have been a big surprise though, Nikon microscope eyepieces,( ortho type quality)
I’ve doubled up on one focal length but haven’t decided which one to keep yet.
(Probably both)
Finally starting to collect an eyepiece family.
I now have 3 Saxon Cielo HD eyepieces. The 12mm, and 6.5mm, and now the 25mm.
Have yet to have a chance to use the 25mm. When I got out of the taxi after shopping this evening, clear skies. In the 25 minutes it took to get everything upstairs to my flat, clouds were moving in.
You have the disease ,,, enjoy it as it's a fun disease .

Here's my lot. Now I just need a better scope to go with them All Tele Vue bought from IIS members over the last couple of years. Pentax bought new from Japan. The 21 is probably my favourite.
Can anyone see the white stuff on the rough checkered band that surrounds the EP above the words on the 31 Nagler? Not sure what it is but it was on there when I purchased it from an IIS member. No other marks on the EP and it works great but it's got me buggered. I never got around to contacting the seller about it neither.
