I got my 9mm yesterday. Thanks Sylvain!

I've had a 6mm for a few months now (obtained from elsewhere), and, ohhhh, it is soooo nice to use.

Such a long eye relief for such a short focal length EP, nice wide FOV so the drift time is so much longer than with anything else I've used. And the image quality is so fine- I haven't noticed any ghost reflections either with the Moon or Jupiter.

And on GC's, man-oh-man, nice and bright and tight star images.

I just can't wait for a clear night to give this one a fang...

The 6mm gives me 333X on my 17.5" dob- too much for most instances. This 9mm will give me 222X, much more practical, but still requiring good conditions.
