16 and even 10, while pushing the limit, are BV friendly.

Very happy that I got a set.

Just curious, did you order yours with standard virtual crosshairs or AP's modified black painted version.

For me, the 4mm and 6mm would be of no real use in my tak sct. I wish they were offering the 25mm and 34mm like the originals,because combined with the zeiss 2x barlow and TMB 1.8X barlow, the powers would be great! i would consider selling most of my collection and going for it!

Yes, the 4mm and 6mm will be all but unusable in the TEC MC200/15 on most nights here in the midwest but I will still have a wide field APO that can use them.

Seconded, I'd have preferred a 25, 16, 10, 6 set but the 4mm will work fine in the 105 so it will get used.

Cheers,

Keith

I'm sure looking forward to receiving my set!

...don't know if I'll get a box or not.
Placed my order with Bob Luffel at Alpine Astro; sets are still available, but the few boxes they had are now spoken for.
