Finally got to give it a test run last night and I am very happy with the results. I went to M42 and the 82º apparent FOV along with a 169x mag through the 12" produced a very spectacular result.
The result was very clear viewing right to the edges while showing a lot more fine detail. the seeing was not that good as it was very hot and humid but it will definitely produce better results in the cooler months to come.
I also managed to see Saturn over the house roof which was spectacular in the wide field but once again the heat of the roof put paid to any finer detail for the moment.
Overall, it was a short and very rewarding test and i'm looking forward to Winter with this EP.
Cheers
