In Australia , these Celestron ep's have a huge markup on them, so if buying new, televue plossls are far better value at about $100 less.
I tend to agree price wise Geoff, pity about that! I wouldn't hesitate to buy a lot more if they were a bit cheaper new. In the meantime one can only hope good second-handers continue to pop up on occasion.

Square_peg: Have'nt noticed any vignetting as yet. The 30mm is supposed to be the better of the 2 yes. The 35mm is regarded as the widest view EP out there out of all 1.25" EPs (or so I read) Some folk make their own eyeguards for the ultimas....at the optimum length of course to get the perfect ER/eye placement.
