Default .965" Pocono Orthos, .965" Meridian Telescope Plossls

Hello all,

If anyone has used or does use any of the .965" Pocono orthos or the
..965" Plossls from Meridian Telescopes
http://www.meridiantelescopes.com/plossl.html , I'd be interested in
your opinions on these. I've read some of Bill Foley's posts
recommending the Pocono orthos, I did see a post on Excelcis about the
1.25" 6mm Pocono ortho being a bit soft. I have a 7mm UO classic and
it is not soft in any way, so if these little orthos are made by UO,
as was suggested, I'd hope they'd be okay.

I'm wondering about ghosting, field flatness, constrast, sharpness,
light throughput, if the view is overall has warm, cool, or
neutral/natural color tone. I might pick up one of each and see
what's what. I realize that you get what you pay for, but these might
be a good find. If I do, I'll post my results to this message.

Thanks and clear skies to all,
Kerry
