30mm SKY ROVER UFF new from Ali Express about 2 months ago.  That was my first eyepiece purchase in ~ 15 years.

 

Really happy with the eyepiece.  It's not in any way out of place amongst all the Televues and Pentax XW's, that I've had for years and years.

 

Cheers

infact I got all of these within the space of a month. Wallet empty 

 

My wallet is always empty these days     Apart from the ~ $100 worth of gold coins I carry in the centre console of the car for emergencies, I haven't carried cash in my wallet for about 5 years.

 

I don't even take any cash when I go to the pub or the club these days !

 

Cheers

Just got a TV 32mm plossl yesterday for my new Quark.

[GrassLakeRon]

GSO Superview 20mm , 15 mm and a GSO 25mm Plossl. All work nice in my CC6.

A 10mm ZAO I, for $900 two weeks ago.  Ouch, but it completes my set.

 

I didn't want the 4mm because the eye relief is just too tight.  I now have the 6mm, 10mm, 16mm, and the Zeiss barlow, which gives me 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 16mm.  Now if I can just get the wood case, I'll be finished.

January 2022, TOE 4 and 3.3. Both used.

Ethos 17mm and 6mm, about 2 months ago.

An ES 52-6.5mm new last month.  First new EP I've bought in over 30 years.  I've had a Meade 4000 5-element 6.4mm for years (actually decades) but the eye lense is only 6mm wide and I have to put the Mk1Mod0 eyeball right up to the EP to get the full width view.

 

I fight the "collecting" bug.

Just ten days ago I bought an ES 30mm 82°, even though I already have a 30mm UFF, because Bresser had a refurbished one on sale for €185 which I thought was quite a bargain, and I wanted to have an 82° 30mm eyepiece.

 

It's quite heavy though. I'm not sure how much use it'll get. I don't use the 34mm ES 68° any more since getting the UFF. And in my 10" Dobsonian I often go straight to the Pentax XW 23mm 85°.

Hey, you asked for it, I will show off...

2 month ago at the NEAF:

2x 4mm ZAOII plus 2x 6mm ZAOII

and on the other extreme, 8 mm Ethos to complete my Ethos set...   

and I am not even talking about the TPLs and Brandons I got there too.... it was pretty nice weekend...

[skpark]

Ethos 6mm to round out my complete Ethos collection. The 6mm was back ordered for a very long time. I got it yesterday along with my P2.

[Battlestamps]

Last eyepiece purchased was back in March, the SvBony 3mm-8mm Planetary Zoom for just under $72. 

[25585]

25mm Masuyama ortho, I think. 

[PYeomans]

It's been a year or so, a 28mm Pentax XL used. Pretty well finished out my EP needs (for the moment). I use these in a motor driven GP & refractors for their long eye relief and sharp field.

Last eyepiece purchased was back in March, the SvBony 3mm-8mm Planetary Zoom for just under $72. 

And how are you liking it so far?

[Bob4BVM]

Leica HC Plan 25mm WF

 

Astoundingly sharp views. Just delicious.

Unfortunately (or not) all mine need to come in pair$

I bought a 24mm UFF in the Celestron Ultima Edge housing last month. It was mostly an impulse buy. =(

[John Huntley]

Last week - Tele Vue Nagler 3-6mm zoom.

 

The week before, APM 20mm 100 degrees.

 

The week before that ...... can't remember !

[therealdmt]

ES 68° 24mm back in May, bought new. 
 

A big success, perhaps even too succesful, as I find myself reaching for my very well-liked 2" eyepieces less now

[pzad]

Ethos 6mm - March 2024 - new

[Lentini]

40mm Takahashi MC LE to complete a set.  That was hard to find!

[Scott99]

Tak TPL's and Masuyamas in a smooth barreled love-fest

[RyanAstroMan]

A 24mm Brandon about two months ago. The next ones on my considering list are: 6mm Ethos, 6.5mm Morpheus, 32mm Brandon.

[Apnee44]

Hi, as I wanted to test a Morpheus eyepiece and as I was quite pleased with the try I gave to an Hyperion 17mm, I just bought one 17.5mm. I am sure it will be perfect with my Dobson 200 f6 and with my 80ED.
