Any comparison of the newer 82 deg AFOV eyepieces

Dear All

I have been looking to see if there are any reviews of the newer 82 deg AFOV long focal length (about 30 mm) eyepieces such as the Explore Scientific and Celestron types. How do they compare with the Naglers in F5 scopes?

regards

i'mpretty sur ethe guy who runs ES used to work for meade - the gear they sell looks very similar to the stuff meade sells or experiemnts with - the 82deg ep's look alik emeade uwa's - so reviews would be similar.
The reviews on CN of the 100 deg ES ep are very god - saying it is better than meade 14mm UWA - and sahrp right out to 10% from the edge

which celestron ep's are you looking at

These Celestron Axiom LX Eyepiece - 31mm which seem identical to the Explore Scientific 30mm.

Have occasionally wondered about the 23 mm Axiom; gets good raps on CN, haven't heard anything locally about them though. Huge EPs

Ta Read that article too - they seem well liked if heavy and a bit cheaper than the Naglers.
