Re the TV EP's , I can't find any TV in stock in AUS - what's happening with supply currently?

The Morpheus looks like a great eyepiece according to forum feedback but with a lower FOV.

Thanks

The Meades are actually about 88° in field, per many measurements of them. That is still impressive for longer eye relief, however. Many users of fast (f/5 and below) scopes report a bit of lateral field astigmatism, but no one reports it is bad except on the 26mm, if I recall.
I suggest you do a Google search for reviews and comments about the Meade Mega Wide Angle (MWA) eyepieces. There are hundreds of comments.

Supply chain problems are major, world-around. Here in the US, we have billions of dollars of goods sitting in the harbors, unloaded, and some of it is now destroyed food and dead animals.

Covid19 raised demand by 300-400% and the factories are running at maximum and falling behind. Now they're experiencing shortages of materials like glass, and labor as well. It's a mess. Realistically, we're going to deal with this until Covid 19 passes into history. How long will that be? My crystal ball is foggy.
