I think you should get a few more Morton

A few weeks ago I bought a used but pristine 7mm Nagler T6 and it really impressed me. Sharp, bright and it seemed colour neutral on the Moon and Jupiter.
Last night I compared the 7mm ortho to the Nagler and also a 15 Ultrascopic with 2x Barlow. It seemed to me that the ortho was sharper and had better contrast, which was the same impression I'd had the previous night. I also compared the ortho and Nagler on some bright doubles (again, the same as the night before) and the ortho seemed to give tighter stars, but the seeing was too variable to make a definite conclusion.
I think I still prefer the Nagler on most deep sky stuff where the wider field gives a bit more context, but on small bright objects the ortho really delivers.
Yes, I need one or two more.
