I didn't choose insured or registered post, so I forfeit my money. But lucky for me on this occassion, the seller was a fantastic guy and offered to pay me half back.. I tried to convince him not to, but he insisted. Wonderful guy.

I've got the 4.7mm Meade UWA for high mag planetary, and it's doing a great job for that purpose. Ideally i'm after something at the 7mm/8mm and then the 9mm/10mm range, to give me enough range at that high power.
The 2 eyepieces in the subject wouldn't solely be used for moon/planets, they'd mainly be used for high power DSO, as a step up from the 14mm UWA when higher power is needed. Though of course I'd use them on planets when the seeing isn't good enough to support 265x (in the 4.7mm). And i've seen from using John's Pentax that it does a good job on planets. I don't expect either of them to be very good on the moon, i'd probably look at getting a 6mm UO HD for the moon/planets.
I wonder when Dave47's getting his 8mm Vixen LVW? I'm very interested to hear his impressions, though the scope he's planning to use it in is significantly different
You need to test it for me in your scope, Geoff!
Steve, who's LVW8 did you try? And in what scope?
