This is a heavy (and expensive) eyepiece, not for the faint hearted!
I bought it for detailed planetary viewing and what I saw was simply jaw dropping!
I study the moon quite often, I think people forget what a wonderful object the moon really is, and the Nagler brings those views closer and sharper than ever.

I also own a TV-NP101, along with this eyepiece, I believe is the perfect combination for Deap Space Objects, stars are tak sharp. As I mentioned, this is an expensive eyepiece, mine cost about $350.00 but the view are simply superbe, I could spend hour after hour observing.

I wish there was a star rating system... I give this eyepiece 5 out of 5 stars.

Optically awsome, but a little heavy and I am not a big instjust fan.

Rating: 9 out of 10

 

10 inch dobsonian F/ 4.7 you need a paracorr.  The focal lenght with paracorr is 1380mm and it gives 81 x magnification and 1 degree field of view. It is just perfect. Clear view form edge to edge. You just got to try :-) before you die...
