That's really great - well done!

Rubs hands .....

I think that is all the eyepieces I "need" now.

Probably.

Thanks very much for taking the time to put these reports together, Chris. They are really helpful. The comparison to other scopes always makes it more concrete I think, too.

John,  out of interest, how or where do you get that screenshot from? Looks really useful.

As always, @James at @FLO is keeping me well informed - the 5mm will soon join the gang to complete the Short Set.

Very nice indeed.

Ah, that would be me that took the remaining 5mm at FLO then and made you have to wait. Sorry! (But not very .. ?)

I've just ordered the Pentax XW 7mm to compliment my 9mm, 13mm, 20mm and 30mm Lunt/APM set that are incoming from Germany  

Another awesome set up! Have I missed something? Is it Christmas already?

Nice one! My own 5mm is back-ordered, 7mm and 3.5mm should arrive tomorrow.

All I can say is Wow! That will be a terrific set. Post a picture of them all together and watch me go green with envy. 

iPeace, this feels a bit "Me Too" but I have been promising myself an XW of some description for years and this is what arrived today  ? .. Jupiter here I come ..

Blimey that is umm, ...long!

Must be great planetary scope. Who made it? Intrigued by the stand too.
