I purchased an Optolong UHC in 2" so I could use it with all of my eyepieces. However, this appears to be a broadband. Hopefully it will provide some benefit on galaxies. With galaxy season upon us I hope to have a chance to test this theory against the Orion skyglow, another broadb...
both in size and apparent field. The implication is that they are pared down Delos eyepieces, and possibly with the same number of elements. The name Ethos was a nod to Paul as well as representing the corporate philosophy of Tele Vue. ...
I rarely buy or use any eyepieces other than Televue. My reasoning behind that is they are the best. I don’t think I’m alone there. Sure there’s others but one can look at resale value where Televue eyepieces hold their value very well compared to others and sales that I see t...
for terrestrial use of the eyepiece. It is interesting to see that eyepieces originally designed for terrestrial use that are now adapted to astronomical use often display significant AMD, which makes the field, when panning, look like it's passing over a ball or being presented as a globe, ...

three parameters - eyesight, telescope, or eyepieces. Nobody's opinion here matters more than anyone else, regardless of how often we post or write things, or how long we've been observing, or anything else. It's pretty obvious the VAST majority of astronomers prefer the big wide-fields....
low power, wide field 1.25" eyepieces. That being said, if you are used to 62 afov, then 60 won't seem so bad and the Xcel LX does have an adjustable eyeguard for when you don't wear glasses, and it is by far the cheapest. Although you probably don't care too much about that...

Diagonals are a very important part of your optical train. Better to save cost on eyepieces, and get a good diagonal. Baader T2s allow plumbing versatility that other diagonals do not. The Tak may seem expensive to you, but its a bargain for the quality. Its made in Japan to be part...
OK, let us investigate the premises:: How many $1,000+ eyepieces are sold per year? How many $10,000+ telescopes are sold per year? How many $10,000+ mounts are sold per year? How many $5,000+ astro-cameras are sold per year?
