    My first Ortho just arrived, namely Baader Classic Ortho 18mm. I considered many EPs and I needed something in the range of 18-24mm, as currently I have only 15mm and then 32mm.
    Quick daytime test revealed more vivid colours and somewhat brighter and more contrasty image compared to my current favourite ES70 15mm.
    Eye relief is nowhere near as bad as I expected.
    So excited, like a little kid! Can't wait for nighttime!

      how'd it go?
      I still did not manage to try the EP properly, it's cloudy here all the time. I have big hopes for today's night thou.

    It's a great feeling when the weather forecast is wrong and the skies are clear. Nebula in Auriga and great views of Jupiter. Definitely need to add a UHC filter and some medium/low eyepieces to my collection though

      I gotta give it a try during the weekend with UHC filter and a trip to darker skies. Thanks for inspiration!

      nebula in Auriga? IC405?
      I haven't seen that one yet, but then again, I've never really tried. What scope did you use?
