Eyepieces update
1. Seben - I dont think much of Seben, I used tio have a couple of their eyepieces but sold them quite a while ago, not really that interested in them for collection
2. Brandon - I have a selection of Brandon's on my Questar, they are a very capable eyepiece. I have used them on my other telescopes, particularly my favourite Quartz optic based 10 inch hand crafted Newtonian and my favourite 102mm hand crafted fluorite refractor, and they are excellent.
I use my Zeiss Abbe's on nearly everything for viewing, as these are as most of you will already know the Holy Grail of eyepieces and they outperform everything. The only thing that comes close is Zeiss Jena 1 inch Orthoscopics which are absolutely sensational, the only concern is quality when sourcing them as these are mostly worn and in unacceptable condition on the astronomy markets around the world.
You need to either know the person or see the gear to know if it is good enough.
