Where did you pull that price from Dave?? An LV 5mm is down to $170-$180 I thought..
No need to apologise to me either John-B

....I just happen to be one of many around the world that own one of the LV line. At the time that I bought that EP I was truly uninformed & I was willing to buy
anything rather than continue to use .965" EPs for visual use

If I wasn't on a continuous budget I would have ended up with the most expensive EP rather than an vixen LV
Dave, try that EP on the trap & saturn etc before coming to a conclusion. I think that EP was the only one I have that could split antares. To solve the internal reflections on mars I used a contrast booster with it....But then I was getting some reflections from the filter itself! (Can't win!!)
