Sure Robert, as soon as I get some decent weather I'll post a review. I must admit, I never found a problem with the original SD lens much at moderate magnifications, except on the moon, where CA was objectionable IMO. I have taken this new lens out recently and pointed it at the moon, and even though the OTA wasn't cooled and the air was moiling a fair bit (jet stream), I could tell straight away that the CA was going to be much better. Very thin yellow rim, no blue or purple at all (this with a 12 mm T4 Nagler), and I feel confident that under normal good seeing the CA will be insignificant or invisible. I'm hoping to push the magnification up a bit, too.
Good luck John. Maybe they'll want you to source it via a local supplier (like Frontier Optics). You could email Daniel there to see if he is getting any packages in. I hope there isn't much mark up, though. The WO price is pretty good on their web site, I think.
Cheers,
Brian.
