Because all new tooling had to be made anyway we took this time
to improve the eyepieces in several ways. 1) The lower housing has a
new undercut like the Paragons and Stellars 2) The housing for the
lower barlow elements has been redesigned to eliminate reflections.
3)The entire surface area inside the eyepiece is baffled.4) The
coatings are now like the Paragons. So we have lowered the price on
all remaining eyepiece to $59.00 till they are gone. (We have almost
2000 of the 2.5,3.2,8mm and 9 mm)
If you purchase any focal lengths now you will receive the new
price but I worn you the wait on some focal lengths will be Months.
After all of the old inventory is gone we will put the price of the
entire line back to $99.00
