Vintage 0.965" eyepieces plus extras

Yet another part of the collection I acquired.

**Selling these as a bundle only**
  • Vixen 9mm ortho in excellent condition. Tested on Jupiter tonight and gives sharp, contrasty views.
  • unbranded 6mm HM eyepiece
  • Moon filter (0.965" fitting)
  • Tele Vue 0.965" to 1.25" adapter
  • both eyepieces come with plastic cases

I've Googled 'HM' and apparently it stand for Huygenian Mittenzwey. According to one website "The Mittenzwey eyepiece is a small improvement on the Huyghenian, replacing the planoconvex field lens by a meniscus lens."

The HM 6mm is sharp only in the central 50% or so. It's more of a collector's item than something you're going to use regularly IMO.

Asking $50 or best offer for the bundle.

Enquiries by PM please.
