Wrong Tools ? TMB review

May all the pocket protectors...eject!

Hello ,

This idea of the wrong tools used in the TMB optical
review in S&T magazine in my way of thinking is incorrect . If the
quality of any eyepiece cannot be fairly judged in a 6 inch F 9
reflector , a Questar 3.5 inch Mak. and a SV 85L refractor just what
can we use to see the performance difference ? If one needs a larger
telescope or a very expensive 6 inch apochromatic refractor too tell
the difference then all high quality eyepieces are not worth the glass
they are made from .
The now well noted exclusion of the 5mm mono. in the
test(he may have used it but I can find nothing in the artical about
its use ) is the biggest procedural mistake in the review . And this
exclusion comes as a surprise to me since high power is what these
eyepieces are all about .
Can someone tell me where I am wrong here ?
