Phew!

Thanks for the encouragment everyone. I feel like less of a loser now.

The moon was very sharp will all the EPs. With 9mm, there were heat waves. It was an awesome sight. I read that the full moon is the worst. Better to look at a crescent moon for more contrast. Can't wait.

I have never seen the milky way with my naked eye. My backyard is full of light pollution. Last night, after my eyes adjusted, the moon was like a big torch!

I just can't wait to get that wow! experience. My wife could tell I was a little disappointed last night. I didn't realise that the conditions would have such a big impact.

You have all restored my faith. I will try and be a little patient.

To clarify, is 12.5mm with 2x barlow better than 6.5mm in terms of eye relief and fov, or is it exactly the same?
