Nice eyepiece - you won't be disappointed.

[Zeta Reticulan]

Well. they're 'cheap' compared to other TV eyepieces lol.

[Alan White]

Good eyepiece, TV quality and a good amount of eye relief as well.

Unlikely it will disappoint.

Congrats on the TV eyepiece! though I could not open the image.

Nice eyepiece - invisible in use 🤪

How strange, it vanished 🤣

The Delite range is terrific.  They are wide enough for me, with very little distortion.  I have most of the nagler range and never thought I'd buy anything else, but I found the naglers didn't suit me with a coronado pst, and I bought a used Delite 11mm on a whim, more or less.  I now have most of the range, as I was so impressed. 

Although I wear glasses most of the time, I don't for observing, but I still find the long eye relief beneficial, and the adjustable height is  really useful.  And they are not just good with the PST but also with my regular refractors and C8.

Happy viewing

How does it compare with Pentax XW 10mm ? Is it better or the same quality?

They are almost the same price

Enjoy! They are excellent eyepieces and do come up used occasionally if you wanted to expand your range in due course. Take a little time to get the adjustable setting right. It's a set and forget thing though 🙂

I think the inner 60° of the XW is the same quality as the Delite. With the XWs you get an extra 10° and with the Delites you get a smaller, lighter eyepiece that is more suitable for small scopes or binoviewers.

I'd be interested to see how you find the views in the Delite, versus your 10mm Ultima Edge.

I haven't actually used one but have used TV before and I currently own a delos 8 and it is a pearl.  No doubt the delite will give you delight. (see what I did there? I'll get me coat)

Will let you know! Going to stick with the edge 10 and the delite 11 on planets the next few sessions.

@Moonshane definitely will expand and stick to DeLites,  have to expand the  bank alittle first. Thanks for the recommendation though 😀
