I haven't looked through the radians, nor the TeleVue Plossls. How do they compare to the Clave Plossls? Brent --- Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com> wrote:

I have found hat the best eyepieces are the orthos for high power. A good ortho will outperform a plossl 95% of the time.
A bad ortho will not fare as well.
Absolutely on-track, Brent.
I have also used the 4.8mm Nagler on my 10" along with a 2.4X Barlow. I didn't like the spurious reflections I got both with and without the Barlow. I believe this comes from the Nagler's numerous elements.
Here, I would think that the Nagler is out of the running on sharpness alone. The ortho has better resolution. But honestly, Brent, the TV Plossls are the sharpest I've looked through, at least for the focal lengths used. Have you checked them out? As for Orthos, I prefer the good-old UO Orthos, my favorite is the 9mm. What about those TV "tack-sharp" eyepieces. "Radians", IIRC; are they as sharp as advertised?
