First light with my Vixen HR 2.4mm
With a near full moon I decided to try out the new eyepiece on the lunar limb.
Seeing at first was average with very few moments good seeing.
A slight shimmering effect from the atmosphere was present most of the time.
When the viewing was good the detail from this eyepiece was amazing, shadows from the crater walls to the cliff faces produced so much detail and very sharp. Very impressed, a very easy to use eyepiece and good eye relief. A slightly critical eye placement is required over the Tak 5mm Le and being a smaller eyepiece it was expected. No monsters present either. Unfortunately Jupiter and its moons were too low in the sky which made the conditions worse.
Looking forward to the new Vixen HR3.4 my Tsa102 when available , should produce about the same exit pupil as the 2.4mm I my Fsq, with extra magnification to boot.
William Paolini has a great field test article on these eyepieces if anyone is interested at astronomyconnect.com
