Normally $99/each. High Point and Astronomics have a sale on the B/TMBs going on right now, but 2 get a 3rd eyepiece free. I ordered 3 for myself and went in with a friend on a 4th. The sale ends Aug. 31st! Some FLs are back-ordered right now (I bet they've been flying out the door) but if you order in time I think they'll still give you the deal when more come in.

Oh, I think you can get the same deal directly from Burgess, too.




Steve, I know it sounds unlikely but I'm reporting what I saw. I had to do a double take myself, I was so surprised. There are times when increased magnification can bring out faint objects that weren't visible at lower power, so maybe this had something to do with it. Also, focal lengths can be approximations. The 6mm could be 6+ and the 7mm could be 7- ?????
