Thanks Ving, yeah agreed, 15mm is also probably my most used EP, it's just a real sweet spot. I have TV Genesis 4".

Thanks John B. Agreed, I thought that 15mm Panoptic looks rather dated now… indeed, what does that make my Wide-field look like… ancient! Your suggestion of the Pentax sounds great, are they 70 deg FOV, do you think it’s a big step up from my Wide-field? Where are they available, I don’t think I’ve seen them at Bintel, and I don’t go around to Astro Optical that much at all. How much would the 14mm be, roughly? Thanks, Fox...
