First Radian.

Well, I bought my first Radian, a 6mm. I had been wanting a 5-6mm wider FOV EP for a while and found the 6mm Radian for sale here today. I figure if it does not suit my purpose, then I can resell it for what I paid without a problem. 60° FOV should be fine for high magnification. I have used them before, but never owned one. I will post a review when I get the chance to use it.

Hi, Floyd
My first radian was a 6mm too. It's really great for lunar observing at 150x on my C102f--sharp and contrasty, and the wider field and eye relief really make for that "porthole" experience. It did very well on Mars last year as well.
I also have a 5mm too, purchased recently. I've compared them to my 3-6 Nagler zoom and have seen very little difference. Sometimes I feel the zoom is *ever* so slightly "crisper" or more contrasty, but they are in general very, very close. And the Radians are definitely more comfortable.
Enjoy!

You have chosen much wisely ;-), Floyd. The 6mm Radian was my first Radian too. I've since added a 12mm, 8mm, 5mm, 4mm and 3mm Radian. My Radian does very well on the planets, the Sun, the Moon and DSOs.
