Meade 7mm erfle WA
Bushnell 7mm ortho that Faworski sells on cloudy nights, spotting scope lenses that are same focal lengths as the older Meade RG's and reputed to be from the same factory.
Meade 7mm PWA 82 degree. TS optics remade the old UWAN William Optics line and this is Meades version.
Takahashi Abbe 6mm ortho.
7mm does not give high enough planetary powers in my 10"
Since all the planets have gone behind the sun had to use the moon. Selected a medium sized crater on the terminator where the sun was just lighting up the floor. There was a light grey shape that looked like something you would see on Mars. Kinda shaped like a side on view of a little pudgy dog.
The eyepieces performed as lined up. Best the Tak 6mm, least the Meade WA. The 82 degree Meade was very good, just a little step behind the front 2 orthos. The wider field of view distracted the eye from the target crater. The 6.8 had the smallest field of view and was very close to the Tak performance. The 2 meade orthos were a little farther behind. The wa 7 was about the same as the old circle T orthos and the Bushnell version of the RG's a little step better.
The Barlow's difference was easy to notice, Nikon at $200 vs. The Apogee at $29.95 but still usable.
So the newer lenses are finally surpassing the best of the oldies.
