Thank you Sylvain,
Fast delivery; posted Friday, got them Tuesday (Monday being a public holiday) in Adelaide.
Tried them out individually and in my William Optics binoviewers. Wow! Saturn in 3D. And on the moon, well, clear view all across the image. Had to use a grey filter as I blinded myself at first haha. I'll think i'll be using these instead of the 20mm privided with the binos. The 20mm gives a full frame image of the moon, but the 9mm lets you see far more detail. And objects like the jewel box and Omega Centauri are framed perfectly with the main scopes 1800mm focal length at 200x. Compared to my 9.7mm Meade Plossl they give a much wider field of view, and I don't even have to jam my forehead against the rim of the eyepiece like with the Meade. Looking at Saturn up to 1 foot away from the eyepiece is brilliant and it takes an age to track across the view (the dob does not have tracking so this is sweet!).

Thank you
Mark.
