Thanks Eric,

You might get a nice surprise too ( I hope!). The one review I could find rated the williams optics right up there with Televue in terms of sharpness. The benefits of getting the magnification just right may reveal more detail than perhaps a better fixed fl eyepiece at a slightly lesser magnification perhaps.

I did find one image from a televue zoom of jupiter (afocal) that would suggest these are an excellent zoom - but the williams optics is cheaper and has a wider field at high power.

I suspect the Baader may be slightly less sharp than the WO but better field of view. Still keen to see if anyone has compared the Baader and WO side by side as the extra bit of field would be nice if they were on a par.

All said and done though if the WO does the job it may well be the way to go.

Cheers
David
