I'm green, I haven't got one. A lovely eyepiece I'm sure.

Congrats on the safe arrival of that little gem. I just had a look at M57 and M13 with the 22T4 last night. Absolutely gorgeous views, and very comfortable to use.

to michael and alan, do you find premium eps like tv,s worthy in less demanding scopes like scts compared to lesser quality eps cheaper eps.although i found my nirvanas to be stonking just wondering what to expect with the nagler

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I went for the TV Nagler T4s for two reasons:

1) eye relief: the Nagler T4 has better eye relief than any 82 deg UWA I could find. I had a Meade 14mm UWA (S5000) which was fine, and was really sharp even in an F/4.1 Newtonian, but its eye relief was too small for me.

2) future proofing: I might get faster scopes (in fact I did: the 80mm F/6 is more demanding than the SCT). If I later get a big Dobsonian, my TV EPs will work well.

Finally, my SCT might not be that demanding, but these EPs really get the most out of it.

thanks michael i was hopeing you would say something like that, well worded.i had a 21mm hyperion which was a nice focal length but i found it a bit fuzzy off axis, thats why i thought the 22 would be a good range. also like you said future proofs for a big dob or frac.thanks again

Terrific, seriously puts the scale into perspective. Toast and clear skies I think.
