    The new 5mm and 6mm Circle T's from grumpymartian are superb! Great detail on Jupiter showing with the SW120ED. These eyepieces are keepers for sure!

      Shaun the 6mm Circle T @ 304x was excellent, purple festoons were not just visible but easy to see just to watch. Not much observing skill required with this scope under these conditions.

      The new obs spot on the ridge has great potential, the local thermals seem extremely well controlled- until Jupiter went over the granite ridge to the west...

      It was a VG night Shaun!

      These eyepieces "suit" my refractors and seem to unleash VG detail, I could see swirling white patches in amongst the striations of the NEB. Quite impressive for a 120mm scope actually.

      I'm out tonight with the 15" if the sky holds.Can't wait!

      Thanks Shaun, they give 150x and 180x in the 120ED. They revealed excellent detail with some really good seeing.

    Finally got to see M78!

    A bit fainter than I thought, but still impressive. I'm not surprised I missed it the other times I went looking.
