I hadn't actually weighed mine...

The ES 24mm is 24oz/704g

Thanks all. As for the weight, my understanding is that the Nagler is about 200 grammes less than the Myriad...

Hi, First off, I love my Myriad eyepiece, with its huge fov and, in my scope, 60x mag. But, it's big, and heavy ... so i'm thinking of selling it and going for an 82 degree replacement (like a 24mm Explore Scientific, or, if i can find a secondhand one, a 20/22mm Nagler). Thoughts? Alternatives? Kev

Thanks. M35 is definitely a challenge 👍🏻

If this thread proves anything, it's undoubtedly the case that everyone's top 10 lists will differ 😀

I got one of those MoveShootMove Tridaptor phone holders the other day, first results are in (all pix taken using night sight mode): M42, M45 & the double cluster….

Managed to get this with my phone to the eyepiece, through the clouds and the trees…

Do you have a case for it?

Only 10? https://www.firstlightoptics.com/books/the-wow-list-50-stunning-deep-space-objects-for-amateur-stargazers-book-by-kevin-quinn-alan-beech.html

I managed to get the veil, California and North America nebs, plus the helix so far from the class 4 site I use. From a true dark site it would be a whole different story ...

Better than my home made affair ...

I was gobmacked 🤣
