Hi Brian and Dean,
These Long Perngs are starting to sound good. I've had my eye on some other items from Andrews as well so it will make ordering simpler, rather than getting stuff from 2 or 3 different places. Which I would do if it meant getting the right stuff. I was going to get my scope from there but by the time I worked out which one I was going to get, they had sold out
and i couldn't wait for new (and more expensive) stock to arrive.

Hi David,
Like i hinted to in my original post, if i couldn't get something with longer eye relief and crisp views, i would go for something like that. After all, quality of view is what i'm after (albeit on a budget). But i found with my dob and a 10mm plossl i had trouble getting comfortable with the eye placement so close.
