I was wondering about a couple of their eyepieces. Seems like they have a 4.5 and a 6.7 82 degree eyepieces. Anyone have experience with them in a F4.4 dob? Just curious as to how they do
The 6.7mm is not bad. It just has a short eye relief.
The 4.5mm is pretty bad, with serious chromatic aberration and other problems.
In that range, where
ES is concerned, look for the older 4.7mm, which was far better.

I looked thru a 4.5 within the last six months and I didnt notice any bad
CA. The image seemed to be pretty good. Makes me wonder if they fixed something. We will find out when i get a break in the clouds that seem to be covering ohio at this time.
