So why do people say "oh get a Nagler" there the best. There probably more Tele Vue EP's owned around the world than any other high end EP.
So you will get more saying by a Nagler etc. 
I used my 31 ( see below) to do a Open Cluster tour last night and at a 2 Deg, field of view it was great. Geoff used a 31 in his scope some time ago and now owns one I too finally have one and love it 
When the Star Camp in Victoria is on I will be there. For those who have never had a Nagler in there scope, You can use mine and see for yourself what its like to own a Nagler. Then you will buy one
Yes I'm the first to say Naglers are not the be all to end all, but there very good. There not cheap and a Panoptic is in my opinion is just as good. |
Yes it true, Dave doesn't deserve his nagler
i went and bought two eyepieces recently a 24mm ultrawide meade and a 34mm super wide meade. I was extremely happy with the performance and the price (both for the price of a 31mm nagler). They were very sharp and contrasty at f5, f6.3 and f10. and very comfortable to use Used in a 30" they were supurb, and the scopes owner even commented that they are just a good as a nagler, and in a 10" they offered great views as well. The 18mm 1.25" meade ultra wide was also great. The 20mm Nagler I have when viewed on the same objects, (tuc47 and M57, ngc1355) in comparison was a very good eyepiece. I am still waiting for my nagler 9mm. (all 2")
