I have to get out more.

After reading everything I could find on eyepieces (this site and others) I bought a 5mm Lanthanum. I can't justify the Naglers, so I'm staying in the mid price range.

How can stodgy old optics technology change so much in 10 years? That was the last time I auditioned eyepieces (I have a 15 mm TV Wide Field). I am amazed by the eye relief.
I have seen some comments about sharpness not being as good as others, but for my eyes right now, this is as good as it gets.
Now the bad part is, I wonder how much better everything else is as well/ I need to go to some star parties.....or maybe I shouldn't.........:foreheadslap:
