anyone see the great seeing in Melbourne tonight

But the Pentax EP are more expensive at the shorter focal length and most of the time you get what you pay for so I'd expect them to be better. I think the 15mm pano rocks though!

But I do wish they had made pano's in shorter FL's. I still haven't received my radian so can't comment on that one. I would like to use the pentax for a longer time than what I have. Hard when you don't own one...

Sadly the panoptic design doesnt seem to scale down for shorter focal lengths without eye relief becomming an issue. All designs are a comprimise in one way or another.

Yes I agree the seeing here in taylors lakes was the best i'd seen for a while!!!

All the popular targets eta carinae, tarantula,lmc jewel box, saturn etc, etc.. were fatastic especially with my new r&p focuser modification wich was a major improvment and made my viewing much more enjoyable!!!
