WI Sky Glow Re: Best Zoom Eyepiece [Re: timmbottoni]       #2581839 - 08/14/08 07:26 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I've owned or currently still own the TV click stop zoom, Proxima zoom, Baader Hyperion zoom and the WO zoom II. The Proxima leaves in my PST which used to house the TV which I sold. The Baader lives in my 102ED and the WO zoom II lives in the 80FD. Of the four, the Baader is the best in FOV and operational smoothness in temperature extremes. The TV and Proxima where similar with a slight nod to the TV except for in my PST, for what ever reason, I just preferred the view and contrast in the PST with the Proxima. -------------------- Chris Mallincam Color Hyper Plus 10" DSH with SC DSC, CPC 800 XLT M102ED S.V., ZS 80FD 10th Anniv, ZS 66SD, PST POD XL3 http://POD.SchroederCity.com Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | (show all) Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 16 registered and 10 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
