I was eyeing off the 1rpd that Gary had for sale in the 'sale forum', but it looks like it may be gone. When it comes time to get a wide field 30mm I might look into one anyway.
And it looks like I might need to reconsider the glasses thing, there just isn't that many cheaper long eye-relief eyepieces around. I went out and did some observing tonight (with bad seeing and the moon up!) and the view wasn't too bad with the glasses off, was just annoying putting them back on to do everything (change eyepieces, align with the finder).
What are the UO's like for faster scopes compared to the Antares Elites on the helix page John (ps. thanks for the post!), they are similarly priced. Are these similar to the UO's everyone else has?
ps. sorry for the hijack frogman!
