Thanks Simmo , I to have 12.5 and 18mm volcano top ortho's ( 5mm to 25mm full set of circleT ) and yes you are right , great eyepieces . Very sharp .
Small field of view but I only use them for the moon and planets .
On the Baader ortho's , I had a nice 9mm Baader genuine ortho and it was identical in use as my 9mm volcano top but a slightly larger field of view , I actually sold it to Flash )
For wide fields on deep sky I use TV's .
Thanks for the clarification mate.
Brian.

Flashdrive I picked up the idea of the dark cloth from one of the other posts somewhere on this forum. Can't remember which though so sorry to whoever posted that one. I find it really helps when at the eyepiece and the image becomes a lot brighter. It does a good job of keeping the mozzies away from your head too. You will get a timewarp feeling like your a photographer in the 1800's behind a camera but if your like me and you are not one to be embarassed you'll find it really useful.
