Thank-you everyone for sharing your photos of StellaMira 90 telescopes and images you make with it 🤗 Steve

He is based in LA, USA so his time zone is eight hours behind ours. If EOFB is visible in a design then it is unlikely it would be same for all focal lengths. Telescope design and brightness of target observed will also likely affect whether it is visible. And aberrations visible in daylight are not always apparent when observing the night sky.

@Don Pensack I have seen what you do at Cloudy Nights but that isn't how we do things at SGL. As retailers you and I are not unbiased. Consider APM - a brand you stock that we do not. You often insert APM into eyepiece discussions. But no eyepiece is perfect. You and I can find weakness in 'any' eyepiece design (telescopes too). So, if I were to join conversations about APM eyepieces and hi-light a "flaw" while mentioning a brand we stock... How is this good? In this instance you literally hi-lighted an imperfection in a product that competes with those you sell. See the difference in lighting and exposure between your photos posted at Cloudy Nights. I see your conversation there continued for some time while people attempted to find the same aberration in their own eyepieces. Some could, some could not. The conversation ended with a member who owned the same eyepiece saying he could not see the problem. For him, it was a non-issue. At FLO we stock and support StellaLyra eyepieces manufactured by Long Perng. I have selected a number for my own use (with a 10" Dobsonian). Over time if I or anyone else notices something that requires attention (i.e. if we find the eyecup consumes a few mm of eye-relief) then we will update our product pages and specification. Steve

I don't know, I haven't tried it. Most long focal length 2" eyepieces need your telescopes supplied extender to reach focus. This is normal. HTH

If you click the FOV photo it will take you to Astronomy Tools where you can add more eyepieces for comparison. I will bow out of this conversation now, before I sound like a salesman 🙂 Steve

I don't think 4mm would be a good choice for your 8" f6 Dobsonian because it would result in 300x magnification (0.68 mm exit pupil). Your telescope will support 300x but our UK skies normally limit useful magnification to around 150-200x max. Occasionally (on a cold winter night when seeing is especially good) you might usefully use 300x magnification when observing the lunar surface or some other high contrast target, like Saturn. But nights like this are few and far between. If looking for a high magnification eyepiece consider instead a 6mm LER or similar. Excellent. I will arrange you receive a 20mm 2" 80º eyepiece. I have prepared a FOV chart using our Astronomy Tools website showing the 18mm 1.25" 68º and 20mm 2" 80º. HTH, Steve

You have been posting here long enough to know that isn't how we do things at FLO 🙂

I see you purchased the StellaLyra 18mm 1.25" 68º eyepiece. If you are willing then we will happily loan you a StellaLyra 20mm 2" 80º for comparison. I am interested to hear how they compare in your Dobsonian telescope. Take your time, we'll contact you in a month or two to see how things are progressing then will send a courier to collect the eyepiece when you are finished. No pressure 🙂 Steve

Looking at your purchase history, I see you have an 8" f6 Dobsonian telescope. That will do nicely 🙂 Eek! 😁 The Pentax XW series are around £100 more expensive and some of the finest eyepieces money can buy! It will be interesting to hear how the StellaLyra compares. Steve
