Great news Ving. You better give us a report when you finally get it out. Did you also get the chesire at andrews? Enjoy your new EP mate

PS: "lee" is also the name of my fiance by the way, but it's spelt "Le"

I have th GS 30mm superview 2"...I am happy with it for the price...I would though like to compare it with some higher priced eyepiece which i am looking at the moment.....

The only comment I would like to say is the eye relief is very small.....you really need to stick your eye into the eyepiece to get the full view....first time I used it...I thought their was something wrong with it as it was all black......lol.....I cant compare to others but I dont need to get anywhere near that close with my 26mm meade plossl........

I will consider this when purchasing more eyepieces.....what is a good measurment for eye relief...15mm?.....

Isnt the eye lens well recessed down into the barrel with those?
IIf so the eye relief may be better than you think.

I think mike should ask lee for an eyepiece to review for the site

haha nice one Funny stuff

I have emailed Lee (on Thursday), and he has agreed to loan me an eyepiece for review, i'll contact him again on Monday.

seems like a nice bloke then, and if anyone wants a scope call him, he sorted a few of us out now.
