That's great John, can I ask John what field of view are those eyepieces?

Hi Dave
They are rated at 68 degrees. Don't get me wrong, they are not Panoptics, but for just over €100 they are good value. Next time out in Boher we should do a comparison of eyepeices with your 20" dob using its high performance mirrors.
cheers

Hi John,
That would certainly be interesting, are you bringing a scope to the whirlpool, if so why not bring the new eyepieces also. As for the Panoptics, its sounds like they have the same FOV, I suppose its the edge of the field is where you'd see a difference, if any.
