Orion Expanse E.P. Review
Hi:
Did not notice any. Peace, Rod Mollise Curious. Try putting a bright star, at the edge of the FOV and see if you notice something. Others with earlier versions of this eyepiece have noticed significant problems. jon |

Orion Expanse E.P. Review
Jon,
Why not unscrew and remove the top and bottom assemblies to access and flock the lower half of the middle housing I.D.? You would find it incredibly easy and quick to accomplish. Will need to leave portion unflocked where the top section goes back in. That's it, and should take care of most of the problem. I did separate the top and bottom halves and "flocked" it using some black paper. Unfortunately it made absolutely no difference. :-( jon |

notice something. Others with earlier versions of this eyepiece have noticed significant problems. Hi Jon: I'll try that this weekend, but I'd think that if I didn't get ghosting/reflectiond with Mars, I wouldn't get 'em with anything. I mean that puppy is bright now! :-) Peace, Rod Mollise Author of _Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope_ Like SCTs and MCTs? Check-out sct-user, the mailing list for CAT fanciers!

Orion Expanse E.P. Review
2. The optics in that NextStar 11 are so bad and there is so much scattered light, you are unable to see the added glare that is apparent in a optically superior scope like a Newtonian. :-) Well... Sorry...that WAS in one of your beloved Newtonians. :-) But I noticed similar results in the C11 and the C8.

Orion Expanse E.P. Review
I just got the 6mm and the 20mm, and tried them out this weekend. The 20mm
was horrible, IMHO. It was very touchy about eye positioning, and took far too much effort to look through. The 6mm, however, was very nice, and provided sharp views of mars and other small objects (such as the double-double). The 20mm is going back, but I am keeping the 6mm. |
