I was able to get out with it once so far. What it does on the Orion Nebula is something special.

Re: ES 9mm 100 degree
I have switched over to pretty much all 80 to 82 degree eyepieces for the dobs. I still have all my Planetary Edge Ons from 3mm up to 12.5 that i have in a travel case for the frac. They still do pretty well for hundred dollar eyepieces.Lady Fraktor wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 5:32 am I still prefer my 50° AFOV and smaller eyepieces.

I only have the 1 100 degree eyepiece at the moment and its really probably the only one i will buy. My skies limit me to 200x most of the time. If i were to get one more it would probably be the AT 7/100. I do have the rare occasions that i can get to 300x, but they are so few and far between i cant justify the expense of it at this time

Re: ES 9mm 100 degree
Since wearing glasses with focal lengths >8mm, I tend to prefer 78-85°, as they are wide enough not to feel cramped, while narrow enough there is no impediment to wearing glasses and seeing the entire field.
100° eyepieces compatible with glasses would be too large and heavy (and expensive), I think.
Below 8mm, I have 6 eyepieces in my kit, and 4 of them are 100° or wider. I still like that unbounded view.
And, the hyperwide fields give a lot more time to watch an object drift across the field, too.
Currently using a 12.5" dob and a 4" apo refractor
