Wink TMB 9mm Planetary II with free 8mm TMB Planetary II

9mm TMB Planetary II in as new condition, about two months old.
Excellent eyepiece for the money.
Sharp, with plenty of eye relief for a 9mm.
Just a bit of astigmatism way out near the field edge.

Plus:

This 8mm TMB series II Planetary has good centre sharpness and again there is plenty of eye relief.
But it has a problem with astigmatism starting about 50% from centre of field.
For this reason I am giving it away free to the purchaser of the 9mm.
If you have a slow scope (>=f10) or a tracking scope you probably can live with it's limitations.

Both come with box and caps and feature twist up eye cups.

Asking $40 plus post.

PM me,
gb.
