What were the issues?

Some from the first batch had a blem in the glass right in the center of the field of view.

They were recalled, but not every one I sold came back, and I presume that is true of other dealers, too, so there might be some bad ones still floating around the used circuit.

Although I don't have a 2.4mm HR to do a comparison (only a 3.4mm HR), this does not surprise me Gerry. The 2.5 XO is a phenomenal eyepiece - cannot imagine anything surpassing it or even coming close for that matter. Love the views of Saturn through it.

This is great to hear actually as I'm getting niggles that the XO might squeak ahead of the HR is thats even possible. Trying again tonight, looking good.

Thanks, that's good to know - fortunately, I don't see a blemish in mine!
