We've taken the plunge !! We ordered our first Premium EP today.

Thanks to all who responded to our thread " Eyepieces for a 12" Dob " couldn't have chosen without your help

Can't wait to get it and praying for moonless dark skies.

Hi Guys

Got so excited about EP forgot to tell you what it was.

Hate to think what would have happened if I had ordered more than one.

David/Barb,

You won't be dissappointed, it gets no better than this regardless of how much money you spend. A superb eyepiece in every respect IMO.

We appreciate your approval of the Pentax XW-10 John. It's the feedback in this forum by yourself and others who have influenced us in our decision.

Thanks

I too bought the Pentax XW 10mm on the recommendation of members of this website - John in particular.

It is without any degree of exaggeration a superb eyepiece.

It's about my most used ocular in both my 8" newtonian and 9.25" SCT.

I'm so impressed I'll soon be adding the 7mm.

You're set for some very nice evenings

One premium eyepiece is never enough, its like a drug
Once you buy one, you'll be poor for quite some time

Same here. After having used the 10mm XW and 8.5mm XF for a while, the 7mm XW have I must. The 14mm XW I'm not so sure about yet with field curvature readily apparent at f5. But the 10mm and the 14mm in a barlow is getting a lot more use anyway than the 14mm on its own.
