Well I was able to observe again last night for 3 hours.
Seeing was not as good as a couple of nights ago. But was able to use all of my eyepieces.
The Pentax’s again excelled. I just can’t believe how good they are. In my Mak, just so sharp. I screwed my eyecup up a bit more and found that more comfortable to use.
IMO these pentax’s for me are a lot better than naglers. The eye relief alone to me makes them better. Colour is warm in the Mak, as it is. But edge-to-edge it’s sharp as a tack!
I do not notice any field curvature in the 14 mm!

As for the 8 mm LVW it is a high power Ep. But I did like eye relief it was very easy to use. A very nice field size. Seeing just was not up to using it often. But when I did I thought this one will be very good also. As I said build quality is as good as the Pentax’s.
All in all I’m very very happy with these eyepieces.
