Just finished viewing a nice shadow transit on Jupiter. Seeing was getting really good just now, but I was getting too tired and packed up.

The 25mm Antares Elite plossls are a winner for the binoviewer. Easier to use than the Panos. The plossls have practically no pincushion (I never thought this mattered but for binoviewing it does), more comfortable eye relief for BVing and don't fog up so easily.

And they are very nice EPs on their own too. Sharp & excellent contrast. Less false colour than the Panos in the outer 20-30% of the field (this is very obvious on the Moon).
