I am amazed at the sharpness and contrast views it delivers.
This would have to be IMHO the very best Planetary eyepiece I've ever used.
Ummmm it's probably the best eyepiece you've ever used period. It's the best I have ever used and that covers a very big field. I rate it very slightly ahead of the Nikon NAV HW which has a larger AFOV, but less eye relief making it difficult to use with glasses on.

I told you that before you bought it. I am just glad you listened to myself and a few other people who had used it before and you went ahead and bought it.

Now you just need to get yourself a serious sized telescope so your new serious eyepiece can properly strut its stuff
