They did a pair of Fujinons for me. The cost was reasonable.

Going from a 10" dob to an 18" dob.

Hi Chris,

For planets, not that big of a deal. For deep sky, night and day difference. You'll be far enough into "oh wow" territory that it'll be a while before the views in the 18" seem normal.

Eyepieces: Framing type

Posted By Jim Chandler

Here's a link to a description and picture of the concentric circle reticle. It's made by EZ Telescope, and Anacortes sells them. They work, but you have to have tracking or use an artificial star, as the alignment of the central obstruction with the reticle is a rather delicate operation.
