I am thinking of getting a new beaut eyepiece for my 12" LB. I phoned up York Optical and they have this range of EP's called Hyperion - made in Germany with 68deg FOV 7 element, which they say is roughly same as Mark 1 eyeball so ok. This EP comes 1.25" but by unscrewing the bottom of it, you can set it up as 2" with corresponding change in focal length (think its longer).
So it is like a mini Barlow thrown in as well . Cost $235 or 400 for 2. They said that the diameter of the bit you look through is double of what a similar Plossl is and great eye relief.....
Does anybody have experience?? I am thinking of maybe 13mm and 8mm.
