Vixen LVW 3.5mm

Bought this for Jupiter season for use in the 8" Skywatcher newt (fl 1000mm).

Thought it would make a nice upper end high mag ep for planetary views, and it did for a short while.

Jupiter is now gone... and I've now moved on and am more of an SCT guy these days (9.25)

Have no more use for this, especially as Canberra's seeing has always made this a very ambitious purchase

It's been used less than half a dozen times... glass spotless, barrel and body spotless.

20mm eye relief...65 degree fov.

Very nice in 800 to 1200mm focal length (maybe a 10 or 12") scope for planets ... maybe doubles etc

Am looking for $300 + postage. You save about $50

Includes end caps and original box

Thanks for looking.
