Description: | This an amazing eyepiece, advertised as having an apparent field of 120°. The actual apparent field is about 140°. There is NO COMA in my 22" f/4, stars are as sharp at the edge as at the center. Excellent light throughput, excellent ocntrast. There is lateral color in the outer 10° of the field for bright objects (Jupiter turns white, but shape is normal and bands still clearly visible).Comparison to 8mm Delos - stars slightly sharper in the Delos. |
