optiluxe 40mm

I see telescope outlet are selling one of these. Anyone have any experience with them? They appear to be a reasonable size, i was wondering how they would compare with a aero 40mm?

Well, since it has been on there for ages now, i guess it isn't something that people rush out to add to their collection!

I've owned one. Very nicely made semi-wide eyepiece. Like so many though, great at F/7 and slower, outer field star distortions start to kick in with faster scopes. My guess would be that a Skywatcher Panaview would be about as good. The Aero ED offers a larger field and would be a bit better corrected I reckon.

Thanks for that John.
