I've got a pair coming... I'm pretty excited about these. Be curious to pit them against my 5x32w Binons, though that's apples to oranges, I suppose...
I think it could be fun to get the nebula filters for these, if/when they become available. I talked to Blue Planet, and he (I've forgotten the owners name) said he's still working on finding a machinist to do the mill work, so they're not available yet, nor does he know what the price is expected to be, nor the release date...
I suppose I'll have to try taping (or something) a 2" UHC filter on one side and a 2" O III (Probably too dark for this apeture) on the other,... I have 2 1.25" celestron UHC filters, which I might be able to affix to the eyepieces, but it sounds like there's not enough eye relief to make this possible. Maybe with the eye-cups removed?? Have to see when I get them. Anyone tried anything like this yet?
Thanks for the review, Holger
Kerry
