When gear heads by eyepieces

They don't look though them, they take the out for "photo sessions!" La la la, la!!!

Astromart:

2. TMB Supermonocentrics 10mm and 16mm
Both are in pristine condition. Come with original boxes. The 10mm was bought new from APM just last month and was never used - only been out of box twice for picture sessions.

Whatever, these guys are terrific planetary eyepieces...

Man has been BUYing and selling pretty rocks since long before you discovered Fox News.

Why pick on somebody who BUYs and then sells some eyepieces?

Psst. Anyone wanna BUY some really dirty eyepieces? ;-)

There was a hilarious review of these in S&T, August 2004. (Those with poor reading skills might not grasp the humor.)

Are you damning them with faint praise?

Those who have looked through them can't seem to say enough good things about them. :-)

Not at all, these guys are highly regarded by many folks who like to observe the planets, planetary nebulae or double stars, especially at high powers, even though they have a very restricted 32-degree field-of-view when compared to most modern eyepieces. See this...

.... and check out the chart on the last 2 pages... and this review...

Come to think of it, there _is_ one potentially funny thing about a monocentric
eyepiece.

Although it would be funnier if it were made of quartz instead of glass...

But the adjustments to your equatorial drive might be awkward...

Because the rock serves no other function except to look pretty? Maybe a paper-weight.
