This thread is destined to be "newbie" full it seems... so I don't feel too bad in increasing their number

I have been lurking for a long time here and am getting ready to purchase a LB 12" Deluxe in the next few weeks.

After extensive reading on eyepiece reviews/feedback here and elsewhere, I have settled upon the Orion Stratus as my first eyepiece choice (considering quality & price).

I am leaning towards the 17 or 13mm Orion Stratus eyepiece for my first addon, and my question is :- I have heard that some LB owners have had trouble obtaining focus with the Stratus eyepieces, especially in 2" mode, ie: the eyepiece inserted straight into the 2" barrel without a 1.25" adaptor.

Does anyone here have experience in using Stratus EP's with the LB, and are there any hints, tips or other "gotcha's"...

Hopefully I don't de-rail the original poster's thread, but given the topic is "can't focus image" I thought it was at least a related topic...

Thanks,

Nathan.
