A suggestion for Iceman's planetary eyepiece

Hi Ice,

Woke up this morning before the kids and was thinking about space stuff of course. I thought about how much i am using asimov's 5mm vixen.

Like using it every night!!!.

I have had terrible seeing, yes, but even 12mm would be no use!. So it is not thaht the seeing has been perfect cos it hasn't!

I would honestly recommend / suggest getting a 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm & 7mm vixen lv on loan and take them to lokstock. Write up a review on what you think.

If i go the vixen (and at this stage i will) , i will buy a 4mm & a 5mm , no questions about it.


I simply use the 5mm every time i am out there!! I would be seeing detail on mars (it will still benefit with from an ir/uv filter) 8 out of 10 times with the 5mm!

I would hate to see you get the 7mm and then find you could of gone a 5 for most times and a 3 or 4mm for special seeing times???
