I do have a couple of floaters, but no it didn't look like that. It looked more like light from Jupiter was reflecting somewhere off of the eyepiece as you can only see it at a particular angle. It may not be that at all but that's kinda what it looked like. My description wasn't great but it's hard to really explain in correct terms as I have no idea what's causing it. We tried google searches last night afterwards with no luck so I thought I would ask here.
I haven't noticed this at all with any other eyepiece that we have. Last night was the first time we've experienced it, and as I said my partner could also see it. Putting the 13 Ethos in afterwards, there was no sign of what we had experienced with the 31 Nagler. I realise we won't be using this particular eyepiece on planets all that often but it has negatively impacted on my opinion of this eyepiece and cast some doubt on the quality of this particular eyepiece in our possession.
Anyone else have any ideas? Thanks guys.
