Amen to that!!
It's interesting to see how varied observers' conditions can be. I find that if I'm getting good results with the 9mm - sharp stars and steadiness - then the 7mm and 5mm Naglers can be used. I've used the 5mm on about half the viewing nights since purchase. It's great for small galaxies and PN's and my brief experience with Pentax XW's is that at the short end they're even better. Obviously if anyone is struggling to use an 8-9mm on a regular basis, than anything shorter than that is a bit of a waste. Moving the scope to a better site is always an option if it's not too big.
