Plain and simple, IMO it doesn't get any better at the 10mm focal length or the 7mm focal length for that matter and I have used just about all of them.

Additionally the 10mm Pentax XW barlows beautifully (as does the 7mm XW) in the 2.5X TV Powermate to give a superb high power planetary combination. Several of the forum members in attendance at Lostock in January and Kulnurra in February were "blown away" with the views of Saturn at high power using this combo in my scope.
