You might want to try option B first. They are fairly heavy eyepieces. The cost of P&P back and forth would probably pay for a new one :wink:


You're right John, I was only half heartedly suggesting it anyway. TAS is planning a telescope night for its February meeting (Tuesday 5th), so maybe someone coming to that might have one, who knows.

I discovered today during a daylight test of my EP's that my eyesight just will not allow me to view with a 4mm EP. 6mm is about the limit for me and even that is not great.

9mm (both Barlowed and unBarlowed) and upwards are fine.

Spose i shouldnt feel bad cuz i'm thinking EP's dont come much smaller then 4mm.

You know you're in real trouble when you look at you eyepiece case and realize you need a bigger case. !
