I know this review has been a long time coming- wow I just realised by the date of the last post how overdue it is!
So here it is...

I love it!!!!!
The stars aren't as pin point as my XW or LVW- could it be the astigmatism it's picking up from my eyes that my other eyepieces don't?- I don't know. But that's okay- because everything else about it I absolutely love!!!! Nice black background- amazing contrast! It seems to have a slightly darker background than my XW10mm. It has a very shallow cup and with the 20 degree eye relief, it means you can see the entire fov without having to get that close into the ep. Comfort wise, personally, I rate this even more comfy than the XW (in itself a very comfy ep). Seems to suffer the effects of dew a lot quicker than my XW's or LVW though- I wonder if this is because it has a very short eye cup .
You steered me (yet again!) very well John in pointing me towards this ep.
Oh, I nearly forget- the advertised fov is supposed to be 65deg- I would say it leans more towards 68 deg.
