Erfle EP's

[barkis]

Many years ago, I managed to obtain an Erfle eyepiece.

It came from a military application, as it had the MOD Arrow stamped on it, and was enclosed in a Brass Cell. It had an 18mm focal length.

The views of the moon and planets with that EP, were simply stunning. I foolishly let it Go with a Dob. scope I had made, and for a nominal fee, although the scope did well cash wise.

I am considering getting rid of my EP's, as my observing is soon going to suffer as I about to enter the dark side.

However, I would like to buy another Erfle, and I would like someone who owns the Takahashi LE 18mm unit, to give me an appraisal of it's performance.

Thanks.

Ron.

. I am buying new Peter, quality should be guaranteed.

I don't think you are too entrenched in Imaging that you never eyeball some of the goodies out there. Come clean now.
