I am curious to hear any comments about any of the Burgess tmb eyepieces.
Burgess lists the 9mm as in stock, Astronomics says they have none, as of last week, and Burgess hasn't returned a call.
I want a planetary eyepiece for Mars, but it looks like it won't be them, which is a disappointment, because the promo sounds good...

Robert,

I have a pair of these, ordered for binoviewing, at a bargain price; my understanding was that these were NOT designed by TMB, but that the second iteration of these would be. I might be wrong.

I haven't had a chance to try them out yet, but I will as time and weather permit.
