Hi ColHut,

Me too!
I think the GSO eyepieces do a reasonable job in the 12 GSO that I have,
I was gobsmacked by the views I got on the first night....

But,

when I slipped in my set of 25 year old Unitron 0.965" eyepieces they
showed up the GSOs as vastly inferior, size for size.

I don't think the Unitron Kellners and Orthos I have were ever exceptional
eyepieces, but, as I have said in another forum, it is a big wrap for the
optical quality of the rest of the OTA.

Invest in a good set of eyepieces at some stage later and you will see
the GSO really perform.

regards,
Steve B.
