[Greenswale (Wren)]

I am working towards observation of carbon and double stars. The equipment I now have is good for me, but I have to wonder if less glass between my eye and the object will give me an improved result. Lets include a bit of planetary work too!

Thus the question - will a quality Orthoscopic be of value? I would be particularly interested if you are able to provide opinion based on real life observation experience using Pentax XW (or similar!) and orthos.

In support, I have done a whole lot of trawling with variable outcomes, tracking performance of my scope is excellent, I am concerned at the possible lack of comfort in use (eye relief) for prolonged viewing, I note that orthos and plossls are common sale items, and would welcome mention of performance of products from various manufacturers.
