Conversely, simply because one writes a book does not automatically denote expertise and anyone familiar with voire dire in the testing of expert witnesses will understand this.

True. Linking to the book was my clumsy attempt to convey the high standing Bill has on Cloudy Nights, where he is one of the go-to guys on eyepiece questions.
Anyway, he has started a new thread on his first light review of all three DeLites and they sound very good (if expensive
) with plenty of references to Tak LE and Abbes.
