This report reminded me of an eyepiece observation relating to globulars I was intending to post. I recently bought an eyepiece specifically for planetary viewing (Pentax 5mm XO); it is an ortho with only a 42-degree FOV & minimal eye relief, but it is very sharp. Anyway, it turns out it is also a fabulous eyepiece for resolving globular cores. It might be fun to try it in your NP-101 Doug, if I can manage to avoid being ambushed by your observing chair.
