Thank you for putting this eyepiece in the spotlight.

Lets be fair about that review. The Moonfish 'beat' the Nagler overall because it cremed it in the 'value for money' category. Under optical quality it was Nagler 97% vs Moonfish 77%. The Moonfish did however beat some brand name eyepieces which cost more than it including Celestron, Meade and Orion. The other standout performer in the review was the Meade 28mm Series 5000 SWA.

I have a '1rpd' brand 30mm 80 degree AFOV eyepiece which is also very nice. In my 15cm f/8 refractor it gives a great 2 degree fov which is sharp to the edge. However in a f/4.5 it was disappointing. I'm waiting to see how it goes in my GSO 25cm f/5. I suspect I'll be in the market for a coma corrector.

Happy viewing,
Dave
