Peter,

Thanks for letting us know and sorry about the loss of an expensive eyepiece. I only have a few eyepieces and these generally are relatively cheap. However - speaking of glass breaking...

My wife got up this morning to cook some breakfast for my son - she was putting the clean filters back into the rangehood when one of them dropped. It hit the Kleenmaid induction cooktop near a corner and shattered the glass - the stainless steel filter must have hit on its corner and falling about 50cm was enough to crack the glass. The cooktop still works, but now another long crack has appeared from the broken corner, so with continued use - I guess the cracks will keep appearing. The bad news is that Kleenmaid went out of business so I don't know if anyone can fix this - and it cost $2000 for the cooktop 4 years ago. I guess I might be doing some Christmas shopping for another cooktop. I really had my heart set on getting a go-to mount like the Vixen Sphinx SXW I was considering.

-John
