I’ve been blamed for worse things. Poor lil’ Pentax only 70° FOV

Larry, the Stratus line was the first line I purchased after using plossls for a long time. For the cost they are very effective eyepieces. I did get a little coma on the outer edge but not enough to be a bother. I had the 5mm, 13mm, 17mm and 21mm and I enjoyed them all. I kept the 17mm when I sold the rest and upgraded to the Pentax XW line (thanks to Steve Fisher). I do think for many over the last year many people upgrading choose not to go with the Stratus and Hyperions and instead went with the Explore Scientific when they were on sale as they offered the 82 degree field of view. That leads to a whole other discussion on FOV and what people like. -- Jay Eads _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
