On the other hand I have a 6mm no name Ortho in .965 size and it lives in a .965-1.25 inch adaptor made from a plastic 3x barlow ( YUCK !!  ) anyway this eyepiece shows the planets like no other eyepiece I own , true it is spectacular , even tho its like looking down a straw ,  .
But no its an excellent planetary eyepiece , very jewel like in feel .

Hi Brian,
The little eyepiece that could!
Perhaps you should invest in a commercial .965 to 1.25 adapter. I don't think the field of view in a 6mm Ortho should be any different in the two barrel sizes. I have a 5mm 0.965 Ortho and its FOV looks standard to me.
Regards,
Renato
