That was what I was after long ago when I was asking about eyepiece types.
Naglers would be good?
Do the classifications, like SWA, UWA and XWA give any hint about the structure?
@notFritzArgelander : You mentionedES clones. Which ones are?
The TV T4 Naglers seem to have 7 elements in 5 groups.ES 82° waterproof 18 mm has 6 elements in 4 groups (and is suspiciously cheap - 195 €).
Of courseES doesn't tell about the structures on their pages. Had to check on a reseller's page.

Re: My first report
Getting over that is vitally important. To reinforce getting over it here are a couple of additional links.turboscrew wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 9:59 am OK. I have to look into the curve a bit longer to capture the essential. I also found a small reluctance in me to accept that I probably should go for smaller focal length eyepieces. But I seem to be getting over it.
1) It is a fact that for an extended object the maximum surface brightness in luminance per unit angular area on the sky is with the naked eye. When we speak of telescopes making objects brighter we are making a conceptual error and violating energy conservation.
http://www.rocketmime.com/astronomy/Tel ... tness.html
The increase of limiting magnitude for stars only works as long as the magnification is so low that the diffraction disk is unresolved, NOT an extended object.
2) There is a link to Sky and Telescope
https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/s ... observing/Conventional wisdom holds that low magnification (low power) works best for deep-sky viewing. After all, low power concentrates an extended object's light into a small area, increasing its apparent surface brightness (the amount of light hitting a given square millimeter of your retina). But, as Roger Clark has documented, this assumption is usually false. High powers should do better on many faint deep-sky objects. The reason is subtle but important, so we'll go into some detail.
I hope I'm not overemphasizing this to the point of being obnoxious. It's the most important concept for happy

Re: My first report
Hello turboscrew,
my most sincere congrats on theVROD !, your observing reports has also opened a very helpful discussion.
Re: Clark Vision
There are still lots of people who don't understand it,
especially not the Blackwell's surface separating the invisibility from the visibility,
and they are refusing the Clark Vision.
These are as a rule also people violating in their belief the law of Étendue Conservation in optics, and highly likely some other laws of conservation, as well,ha , ha .
It does not matter, the Clark Vision works and helps.
Re: 20mm eyepieces
If f=25mm would be right for you, then you might consider the Carl Zeiss E-Pl 10x/20, or W-Pl, (AFOV around 45°) from the microscopes accessories, or the Leica HC Plan, or even better the Leica HC Plan S 10x/22, buth those Leicas still made in Germany, not in Singapore.
According to Uwe Glahn, who has had one of my Carl Zeiss E-Pl on test, this eyepiece shows more of the faintest stars if compared with the Nagler orES . To me it also shows more and more difficult nebulae than the TV Plössl, I also have.
The prices are thanks to the Covid low, comparable to the TV Plössl, or even less, https://picclick.de/Okular-zeiss-e-pl-1 ... 31654.html

Re: My first report
Yes. For planets. I was thinking that 15 mm + Barlow takes care of the 5 mm - at least for now. Maybe 4 mm (just in case) later. I doubt that the weather here gives a lot of use for 4mm. For 5 mm it does (I've heard).notFritzArgelander wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 5:04 pmShorter than 8mm for your f4 might be useful on the Moon and planets but forturboscrew wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 4:55 pmMy shortest is 6 mm.

Re: My first report
Enjoyed reading your report, TurboScrew. I relate to your difficulty observing targets that can barely be seen with averted vision. That pretty much describes a much of my time observing but it makes one appreciate the good days when they show clearly. I also appreciate that this happens even with a 300mm/12 inch telescope, especially now as the northern hemisphere brightens up for the summer. Puts aperture fever vs. access to dark skies in context.
Congratulations onVROD !

Re: My first report
Hmm, I should have been wise enough to "redirect" the talk about eyepieces into another thread in "Eyepieces section". I just didn't realize that it could swell up that much, and when I finally did, there were comments about both the report and eyepieces intermixed.
