Hi All,

Some time ago,I bought a Tasco/Vixen 8V telescope.
This came with 2 Orthoscopic .965 eyepieces.
18mm. and 5mm.
They have the V in a circle logo,so I know they are early Vixen eyepieces,

I have just found an adapter,in amongst the parts I got with the 8V,which will screw directly onto the 1.25" adapter, and allow the use of these Eyepieces in the ED80.

I am stoked,I can now use any Eyepiece in the ED80 from 2",to .965"

I have just ordered a UO 7mm orthoscopic,from Daniel,at Frontier Optics,
so I will have a reasonable range of Magnifications,with the 3 ortho,s.

My Questions are.
1/ Are the .965 Vixens a decent eyepiece??,

2/ Has anyone else used these eyepieces in an ED80,with a .965 adapter,on top of a 1.25" adapter,and if so,were you happy with the results.

Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
John
