The new Celestron Axiom LX series will offer 82 degree fovs at substantially lower costs than Uncle Al offers. Included in the lineup is a 31mm for $399. So will these be the real deal???

Hi Darren,
You know, there have been a lot of EPs that have tried to aim their sights at the 82° FOV wide field. So far only a couple have come close to the Nagler in correction.
There is no information on the Clestron web site on these and the eye relief is not actually listed, just says it is a comfortable amount.
I think that these will likely be more of a Meade 5000 UWA than a new Nagler, but I would love to be proved wrong. smile
Someone should buy one of these and give us a review! 8) I for one do not have the need for a new EP of this type, but I am sure there are more than a few people here that could use one.
