I wish more folks understood this better. I am so tired of hearing that an eyepiece is fundamentally "bad". Most of the time they are judged "bad" because they were used improperly, outside their operating parameters. As example, do not expect a 3 element design to perform so hot in an f/4 scope. Just not going to happen. But put it in an f/8 scope and like you said, can be "ripper"
