Here are my EPs.
A collection of Vixens from 2.5mm to 25 mm and a collection of others.
There does seem to be an issue with the higher powered Vixens in that they only have 45 degree of view, as opposed to the 50 degrees offered by standard Vixen LVs. Are they the "first series"?
Thanks, Bo
Cheers Brian, yours don't look half bad either .
Looks like your 2.5, 4 and 6mm LVs also have 45 degree views. Mine just didn't have the large lettering, thats why I thought they were "first generation". Anyway, just waiting for a good seeing night now.
I also love your Nagler and Axiom hand granades .

Thanks Bo and Flash , there is a new ( 2nd hand) 20mm T2 Nagler on its way , that will sit nicely in amongst these .
My darling said NO , but I convinced her that if I sell a few eyepieces to pay for it , it wont cost us anything ... .
On the 45 degrees Bo I really dont notice it because I use the 2.5 - 6mm on double stars the moon and planets using either my IEQ45 and 127mm or the Vixen Super Polaris under my 90mm LP , and both are driven so once they are on target it stays there for a while . These are very good for this kind of work .. .
Not so Flash using our Pronto and Gibralter , they work but its a chore keeping the objects in the field . Thats where the TV eyepieces rule .
One more thing , you gotta see the Eta Carina nebular and surrounds using the 31mm Axium LX and 60mm TAK,, ! beautiful .
Blew a few away last saturday night at our dark sky night , there were some big scopes there , to .
Brian.
Ok Silv, I have only refractors from 60mm to 127mm and they are all under f7.5 so i dont have much focal lenght / magnification for any given eyepiece , so thats why I have the smaller f/l Vixen's 2.5mm - 10mm these allow me to get medium to high powers for the moon , plarets and double stars without using my barlow as I find that barlows are a pain in the dark as I always bump into it ? .True very annoying .
For example my 3mm gives me 166x in my 500mm fl 90mm APO which is plenty and the large eyeopening and 20mm eye relief is a joy , just one example .
For my Celestron Axiom LX 31mm and TV panoptics and naglers they are the best for low power large field of view , there is something about a large up to 5 degree + field using a quality refractor thats not seen in large , 10- 16 inch reflectors , oh yes the reflectors will go much much deeper , but the views are not as nice ( In my , and others eyes )
For example 2 weekends ago we had our dark sky night for june and I had my 60mm f5.9 TAK Flourite refractor out and using my 31mm Axiom , that is 11x and 6 degree field , the view of the eta Carina nebular ard huge surrounds was spectular !! , perfect pin prick stars of every colour across the entire field with the nebular in the middle , It blew every one there away and that included some large scope owners , up to 16 inches that night , Nice .
Thats just me , but I love my refractors .
Thats why , mate and its also fun trying to get a nice collection going , its taken me years . .Thanks to IIS ..

As the micky mouse club say's ' because we like to'...
And its always good to try something new and if you dont like it or it does not suit your scope you can always sell it here at IIS and not loose to much money .
By the way Bytor666 how does the new 14mm perform , it looks a lot like the 32mm I have just sold to Georgio ? If its as good as that it will be a great eyepiece , and if you ever want to sell it ??? . think of me .
Brian.
3 remain. Two new additions! What I like about the Orion 38mm Q70 is that I can fit M-45 in the FOV, The Coat hanger Cluster, The Veil plus a few more large objects, and it serves well as a finder eyepiece. I also just picked up another 2" Antares 1.6x barlow!
The new beast turned up today, a nice shiny new 13mm Ethos!!
Collection now consists of 17 Ethos, 13 Ethos, 10 Ethos and a 6 Delos along with a 2x TV Barlow.
I still have the 13T6 Nag, but it is not in this photo.
Thinking the next purchase is probably a wiiide EP, thinking a 21 Ethos, 31T5 Nag or a 35 or 41 Pan.
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.
Like your Vixens there Bo , here are mine 7 off , and my TV's + 31mm Axiom 31mm .
