Haven't been able to find enough information about either to sufficiently make a educated purchase. I have a fairly fast scope {10" F4.7 Orion Intelliscope.}I have heard that both are fairly acceptable for my scope, but am not seeing alot of information. Can anyone help?.....Thanks....

The Astro-Tech eyepiece line is new, so not many have them, to give an opinion yet. -------------------- Carol AstroTech 16" Dob (Thanks ASTRONOMICS!)
