Clear skies!
Thanks for the quick reply, I was more thinking of the LV v LVW, from what I can see, the major difference is AFOV, due to the way the lenses are grouped. http://www.telescope-service.com/vix...s.html#Okulare
From what you are saying above, has the LVs been superceded by the NLV? (New LV?), as their AFOV and construction seem identical.
