Mike:

Consider this proposition:

The weak link in the chain is always the telescope. In comparison to any telescope, any semi-decent eyepiece is perfect.

So, differences in eyepieces are just not that important.

Put a TMB Mono or a Nagler or whatever else you want to, put that in a Baytronix 150/1400, the Ebay special short tube NEwt and no matter what you do the views will be awful.

Take the "Plossls" that came with the Baytronix and stick them in an 8 inch Astro-Physics APO and the views will be pretty amazing.

I just have to say that this is a great thread. Keep it up. Thank god somebody did the world a service by busting those Baytronix telescopes in a Cloudy Nights review.

OK, I will try that. I'll send you a
private email with my address for shipping that AP.
