Orion zoom 7.2mm-21.5mm (now with first light review)
I'm thinking of a zoom eyepiece for solar viewing with my ZS66. I quite like the look of the Lunt Solar zoom 7.2-21.5mm, although the maximum AFOV is only 53° at 7.2mm.
The Orion zoom appears to be pretty much identical to the Lunt except that the maximum AFOV is 60°.
In a small scope like my ZS66 the difference in AFOV isn't very significant, but if I was to use the zoom in a larger scope it might be, so I'm wondering if the Orion is a better option. The Lunt seems to be sharp but I can't find much information on the Orion version.
The zoom would also be used for occasional terrestrial viewing in the ZS66.
Any owners out there?
