Great discussion going on here , thanks Lewis .

Hans , a few years ago I had a full set of the beautiful Vixwn LV's , beautiful eyepieces in every way , but I grabbed an 18mm Radian from the classifieds here and now have a full set of the TV's , they are a better eyepiece IMOO , so sold the LVs to a lucky IIS'r .

The Radians do impart a more natural tinge to the Moon and Planets in my eyes and these are my favourite night sky objects , in my refractors more natural hues , but especially in my 9 1/4 inch Cat the Radians really shine in this scope .
They are , the ( LV's) and Radians special eyepieces for luna/planetary viewing but I do find my Panoptic's better for deep sky, cleaner ? perhaps , very subjective subject .

Great discussion this one and a merry Christmas all .

Brian.

And I found other websites that state that Lanthanum was used in the Panoptics and Radian eyepieces.
