Planetary EP
Hi,
I have astigmatism and changed some time ago to all Delos (3.5, 6, 10, 17.3) plus a Explore Scientific 24mm 68 degree.
I am very happy with all of them, down to the 3.5 for small DS and planetary nebula in a f 7.4 and f 5 APO, I can see the entire field with glasses in all of them. I had a 5 mm Radian and the Delos are at least as good, more field and better designed eye cup adjustement.
I recently compared the 3.5 Delos on Jupiter with a Takahasi Hi-LE 3.6, I had to observe without glasses but at the small exit pupil the astigmatism does not show up.
Result: The Tak Hi-Le was sharper and had slightly brighter image.
For Planetary work this would be my preference, for DS and planetary nebula the larger field and the comfort of the Delos are my preference.
I also had a chance to use the Nagler Zoom3-6 and that will be what I will purchase for Planets, it up there with the Tak but provides the additional benefit of 3-6 mm zoom.
