What a great eyepiece this is! I bought (as a birthday present) it new from a local telescope shop and ran home to try it on my XT10 DOB.

It has a long eye relief, which for me is a little uncomfortable since I am not an eyeglass wearer, but you get used to it.

It is not as heavy as I expected considering all the glass and the workmanship which I must say is absolutely beautiful.

I live in a medium light poluted suburb,  the contrast was amazing when viewing bright or dim objects.

The Orion nebulae (one of my favorites from my light-poluted sky) was simply amazing. I saw more through this eyepiece than ever before because of the contrast, I spent quite a bit of time looking at Orion.

The moon was superbe as was Jupiter and Saturn, very sharp images and much more sky.

I am taking this eyepiece to a star party in a couple of weeks and will test it on other telescopes. I'll be back for more reviews, stay tuned and thank you for reading.
