Don't you love those once-a-year nights when the atmosphere smiles and says "CHEESE?"

Nice shot, LOTS of detail!

Thanks guys. I just tried it out on the moon and it is very good. It equalled the sharpness and color correction in my Televue 11mm Plossl with Celestron FMC 2X barlow. Saturn, later tonight, will really tell the story. I'm hoping for a little more contrast, but that's hard to tell on the moon.

Hi Dan,

The first thing I noticd was the curvature of the eye lens. I figured it was just due to the short fl. I'll check the field curvature. Thanks for the tip.

Well I checked out the filed flatness and it ain't so great. But the color correction is good and there are minimal reflections so I'll call it a keeper. I do almost strictly planetary viewing and the center of the FOV is all I really care about. Saturn looks really crisp out to about 20% from the edge. Nice eyepiece for thge money, It was an Ebay deal, brand new, $16 shipped, with case. Not bad.
