Had a great time observing tonight. The Stratus eyepieces did really well on Mars and DSOs. Few quirks (some took me a while to figure out): eye placement is forgiving but not when it comes to aberrations, especially false colour; EPs too heavy for brass ring type 2-1.25" adapter and unfortunately only the 21mm reaches focus as a 2" (maybe I'll buy an extender). Really good seeing here tonight. Short FL EPs gave great high mag views of Mars. 13mm Stratus fared really well against the Nagler on Mars, on detail in Tuc47, faint stars around LMC and Tarantula and near Orion Neb ... in the f6 Dob.

I think I'm going to enjoy these EPs.
