Not sure if you will be a Lunatiks but would be interested to see the difference. Although could possibly be rained as most events have in WA this winter and spring.

On the past two Lunatiks sessions I had first light with my 12" FlexDob and did use the Sieberts extensively and those who had looked thru my scope did not comment about "flaring" issues and neither did I - since the time I received the EPs and PMW barlows I DID NOT notice any of the "flaring" reflections issues either

In fact the 7mm performed admirably on Joop and even viewed the shadow of one of the moons as it transited the planet

Not my intention to encourage/promote or discourage the purchase of Siebert's products either

Cheers
Bill
