Alex,

You're gonna love that XW !!! Once you hit GOLD like that with the XW's you'll want more of them !!! I have the 10mm and 7mm XW and I barlow both for mags of 210x for Jupiter and some DSO's and I get 300x with the 7mm XW barlowed for Saturn, Mars and some small planetary nebs or globs.

I had the 13mm Vixen LVW and loved that EP too, but a friend of mine had a 14mm Denk and it sat for about a week or two not selling on the used market so I was being taunted by it and the reviews were glowing, so I sold the 13mm Vixen LVW and jumped all over that 14mm Denk !!!

So, now I have a 34mm ES 68 on the way after selling an Orion 38mm Q70, I have a 22mm Vixen LVW after selling a 20mm ES 68, I have the 14mm Denk and the 10mm and 7mm XW's. Now every one of my eyepieces work perfectly in my fast Newtonian w/o needing a Paracorr.

I have never had 5 Premium eyepieces at once in my entire life !!!

Enjoy that XW Alex....you're going to get addicted now,



Cheers,
