Hi,

I have used a Meade 26mm QX in my 10"/F5 dob and I thought it was very average. It was clearly an inferior performer to my 30mm GSO Superview and about 3 solar systems from my 27mm TV Panoptic. It may work well in slower scopes (I have heard it does) but it surely is not good at F5 and Meade would be better supplying the scope with something that at least performed reasonably at F5 like a good plossl, particularly considering the scope has a lot of positives.
