Personally they are amongst the easiest design to use , very like the Vixen LV's and LVW's at 1/2 the price .

Brian,

That's exactly the impression I gained when reading through the specs, an easy to use eye piece. Though I have a reasonable Barlow a Celestron 2" it drops a lot of light. My wish is to get in the region of 330 mag without too much light drop. I am aware seeing conditions limit mag but for lunar obs I would love something that provides "up-close and personal" I want the flinty smell of lunar dust in my nose. Lol
