Just got back in from an observation of the Moon with the Svbony 7-21 zoom lens and my Celestron 150mm F8 achromatic. The GSO APO barlow has yet to arrive. Even using a cheapo eBay 2x barlow the Moon's crater edges were very sharp. While looking at a cluster of craters the view was sharp to the edge. It has very good eye relief. I can take in the entire view from the lowest to highest mag. There was no kidney beaning and no blackouts. This Svbony very much bested the Agenaastro and Celestron budget zooms I use to own. It also bested the Long Perng 9mm, 6mm, and 5mm eyepieces.
My eyepiece starters are:
Meade 2" 56mm Super Plossle
Celestron/APM 2" 30mm UFF
Astromania/Olivon 2" 22mm
Agena Starguider/Paradigm 1.25" 15mm and 12mm
Svbony 1.25" 7-21 Zoom with Barlow
Bench warmers:
GSO 1.25" 32mm Plossle
GSO 1.25' 20mm Superview
Agena 1.25" Super Wide Angle 15mm
Gold Line 1.25" 6mm
Ebay 1.25" 2x Barlow
Thanks all for your help.
