TMB burgess planetary 4mm - first impressions
This is very exciting, Geoff, Mike and I have received our TMB planetary eyepieces.
From the outset, let me say that I rate myself as about 3/10 in eyepiece experience. Guys like John Bambury would be 10/10.
We ordered a 3 for 2 deal and so it cost me just on $100
I bought a 5mm lv vixen off Asimov last year and found that i got enough use out of it to feel my conditions locally would justify a 4mm.
I must say I am very very impressed in the make of this eyepiece. It reminds me of pictures of radians.
I have only got to look at a very cloudy moon last night and can't wait to try it on saturn.
The field of view feels larger than the lv vixen.
More details to come soon, but from my perspective I feel have invested very wisely.
Having talked to Geoff on the phone, he feels that they are not premium ie pentax and televues, but they definately are very good value for money.
Good feeling about this one!
