T4 Naglers

[A McEwan]

Hi.

I've just spent some time exposed to a 17mm T4 Nagler with a 90mm Apo under dark skies, touring some open clusters. I won't go into details, but I have to ask - are all T4s like that?

I mean Wow-ey and splendid and comfy and immersive?

Thanks.

I've only owned and used the 22mm T4 Ant and thought that matched your description of the 17mm. I sold it to get a T5 20mm which is excellent but I do miss the large eyelens and eye relief of the 22mm T4.

Before I made that swap I seemed to read a number of posts cheering on the T520, after the swap all the posts I read seemed to say the opposite ...... always the way isn't it

Hi Ant

I own the other type4 the 12mm

It was my first Nagler and still my favorite.

Need I say more

I have 2 of the T4 12mm (although one is currently for sale) and I love it..

[jnc71106]

Also have the 12 t4 and it is a stunning ep

It really does give that port hole effect

[Chris H]

I too have the 12T4 it's holding it's own very well in an Ethos sandwich (17E, 8E)

I also own the 17mm T4 and I agree, it's a wonderful eyepiece. I also have a 13mm T6, I would like to take a view through the 12mm to show how they compare.

Really nice eyepieces, the T4s.... The 17 and 22 together made a great pair.

I'm in exactly that position, Paul. I'd love to compare my 13T6 to the 12T4. I couldn't resist and have bought a used 17T4 of my very own. Maybe one of the best eyepices I've looked through...

Ant

[Rossco72]

The T4's are definately nice kit. If you REALLY want to try one you could buy my extra one which is currently available....

Hi Ant

I Must say the 12mm Nagler is a lovley eyepiece well worth having the 17mm

is also a great eyepiece, am thinking of getting the 22mm to make the set of the t4

If I was you I would consider Stewart (Rossco) offer last a life time

I have the 22mm and 17mm and you won't prise them out of my hands. Clear, sharp and easy to use - beats the pants off the T6.

I won't be getting a 12mm T4 as I have a 13mm LVW which at x181 in my scope is a far better planetary eyepiece.

[A McEwan]

Thanks. I would have except I have a 13T6 already which I use a lot...

I have the 12mm T4, 17mm T4 and the 22mmT4, they are in my view exceptional glass that I use on every clear night that I can get out!

I love my 13mm Ethos but still would nopt part wioth my 12 and 17 T4's

I wouldn't say I was easily led but based on the opinions in this thread (and the fact the TV sale is ending in a couple of weeks) I've just ordered a 17mm T4 Nagler.

See what you made me do...?

Good call Tim that's a great eyepiece you'll love it.

I might be in a position to get a 12T4 and 17T4 as replacement for my Meade 14mm UWA, which has a slightly tight eye relief (otherwise a fine EP). The excellent performance of the Nagler 22 T4, and its ease of use, combined with the current discount sort of pushes me that way.

Addiction is tragic, innit.

[jonstarrysky]

Anyone own the 22T5 and 20T4 and keep/ use both ??????

[jonstarrysky]

Trick question- 20T5 and 22T4

[John]

I sold a 22T4 to get a 20T5. Both are excellent but I could not justify having both.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I would say it does not make sense to have both.

[mcrossley]

I still have a 20mm T2, great bit of kit even if it does need it's own counter weight!

[swamp thing]

I would say it does not make sense to have both.

Unless you have two scopes. 20 T5 in one and the 22 T4 in....

Why did I just think that

I think my wallet might be in for another sparse time.

Could you not also fit an Ethos 21mm in between (for the third scope of course)
