Subject: Re: vote by Craig By: jkalen Date: 02/18/2003 12:02:34 pm PST >This is one of the best Naglers yet, and rivals the well-respected Meade 14mm UWA. It gives sharp, clean, contrasty views, has good eye-relief for comfortable viewing, and has very minimal blackout or kidney-bean effect. In addition, it is wonderfully compact. Highly recommended! what kind of scope are you using that you could push the magnification to this level (13mm with 5x powermate)?

I agree with this entry, although I've never used a 14uwa. This eclipses the original 9 nagler based on contrast, full field sharpness.... and most important of all...weight... It's about half as massive and close to my 4.8 in weight. The 9 always gives me anxiety when I use it in my SPC-102 and RF-80, with me thinking that it will fall off the scopes. It is well suited for my 10" f/4.5 though, but rides rather tall on the focuser and yields 127x...... great for deep-sky. The 13 is fabulous on my Nexstar 8i at 156x. I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this and it is worth the money, since it blows away Kellners (ugh), Orthos and Plossls in every respect. In the RF-80 @ f/5, the field is absolutely sharp across the entire field !!!! I've yet to try it in the 10". Al Nagler should get a Nobel Prize for his contributions to amateur astronomy.....I think I'm spoiled...............

Since this last entry, I've tried it in the 10" and at 88x it provides a wonderful true field of nearly one degree... Very nice indeed and will probably be my most used EP on that scope. Don't waste money on cheap eyepieces....save up and drop the green on this one....You will not be disappointed. Page 1 of 1 | ||||||||
