I am hoping to get by on just the full set of LVWs, I am halfway there with a few ring-ins. Still need the 5,8 and 22 but I am waiting till my wife cools down before spending any more.
and maybe a couple for the Istar
Looking Good Matt ..!! ...keep going till you get what you want ..!!
Just ' hide ' them from the ' Wifey ' as you get them .. that way .. she won't know ..
I thought I might as well show off my TelVue collection as it stands today , I got every one from IIS's Classifieds ,, thanks all who sold em to me .
The 19mm Panoptic is the newest addition and it all started way back with my mighty 13mm T1 Nagler ,,
The story continues .......

Reason: mistake
Well the 21 Ethos is here and had first light on the last night of Snake Valley Camp.
Pic shows the EP collection as it stands on the Rack of my dob mount.
Consists of 10, 13, 17 and 21 Ethoi, 6mm Delos and the venerable old 13mm Nagler.
I still pull out the 13 Nag as it is still a nice EP.
The other new item is the Argo Navis which I have mounted on a small ball head for a more comfortable viewing angle.
Here are my current eyepieces. Currently sitting in an eyepiece tray I made for my 12" skywatcher dob. Some might suggest the tray is over-engineered for the job at hand, but when its holding nearly $1500 of oculars at a give time... I don't think I've over done it at all.
I have a 35mm panoptic that is my favorite with a 20" F5 dob.
There is also a 41mm Panoptic giving a wider field and for higher mag a 16, 12 and 9mm Nagler.
I will sell these soon with the scope - I have a health problem and a destiny beyond my control. Stay tuned

Nice eyepieces you guys! I added another to the stable. The 14mm Denkmeier! If you're all wondering where the eye cup on the 14m Denk came from, look no further than the 22mm LVW! I took the rubber eye cup off of the 22mm Vixen LVW to see if it would fit on the 14mm Denk and it does! However, I just leave the eye cups on both eyepiece off so I can use my glasses with them!
A couple of recent additions to my Eyepiece Family.
Notice the 2 x TeleVue 26mm Smooth Side ... the writing is different ...writing at the top ... and writing at the bottom ...also ...one has a more ' pronounced volcano top ' than the other. ...My only guess is the year of manufacture or just a different ' batch ' production.
and .... 2 Denkmeier 21mm FMC made in USA ...these are really nice ..!!
Flash ..!!
