Well, it looks like I might be sent the 5-7-9mm Nagler T-6 EPs to include in the test of the BO Planetary EPs.
Jim has offered to send me those to evaluate. This would be a nice addition to the test results. It would give a broader base to make the evaluation more valid I think.
Now if these *^)%$ Clouds would just go away! >sad

What are you looking for Floyd?
I do have a few eyepieces and think I can probably trust you. wink

Sorry I've been out of touch for a bit. Are you looking for Wide Angle for DSO use primarily?

Clear Skies, Bill

Who knows - maybe someone else would step up and offer to loan you some additional eps of similar focal lengths to make the comparison even broader!?

You never know - any takers out there?

You can trust Floyd... I do. grin

OK! grin The BO Planetary EPs arrived today! 8) They look quite nice, well boxed and packaged, and the fit an finish is quite good as is the look of the coatings.
I like the screw up and down eye relief adjustment, like that of Pentax, it works well too. The size is nice and the weight is not too much for each of them.
Now to get the other EPs together for the test and to get rid of the constant clouds we have been experiencing of late. They say maybe this Friday or Saturday will bring a change, perhaps even Thursdy night? Let us hope so because I really want to give these the whole test. grin
