Highburymark Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks John. Haven't properly road tested the Naglers yet but they are a remarkable package considering when they were designed. I'm expecting them to be marginally outperformed by Delos in the Tak but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought these after reading Johns review. I wanted light weight eyepieces with good eye relief and high quality views and these fulfill all the criteria. I thought the 50 degree AFOV would not be to my liking having been used to 82 and 72 AFOV with my other eyepieces but the view through these is so good I don't seem to notice that I'm looking through a 50 afov eyepiece. The 30mm NPL is also a very good eyepiece that goes very well with the SLVs These are now my most used eyepieces. I'm feeling a bit guilty as the Delos and Nagler don't get any scope time.

SloMoe Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Ya know, I don't think I've ever met an eyepiece case or set that I didn't like, It never seems to confrust my mind, did I spend too much or not enough,,,,,,, 128 pages of "Good Job!" edit: 129 pages of "Good Job!"

Reminds me of one of my cases where I've put pick-n-pluck foam squares back in after reconfiguring my case over the years. I always keep all my foam bits in a box with my small accessory boxes, like the ones for filters and small eyepieces. It seemed like hoarding until I needed to redo my case's layout several times. That foam (the high density version in particular) is expensive to buy separately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjgreen Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) I have just spent the morning cutting foam & reorganizing eyepieces, diagonals etc into two cases ready for the big dob's arrival tomorrow.
