I recently received my 6.4mm Star Splitters and am so impressed that I felt it beneficial to start a thread on the series. I have another 8.9mm bino pair on order along with the 1.25X OCA and 2.8X OCA. In comparing the 6.4mm against the 9mm TMB, I decided I liked the attributes of the Star Splitters better and ordered the 8.9mm.

The Star Splitters are very comfortable and have high resolution and contrast very similar to my 12.5mm Ultimas as well as similar eye relief and a similar "feel" while viewing. More info later after comparisons with the 8.9mm Star Splitters.

I just sold my orthos due to eye relief issues as well my newfound preference for the TMB/Burgess eyepieces. I'd be interested to hear more about these Siebert "Splitter" eyepieces.

Coincidentally, I just ordered the 34mm Siebert Observatory 2" based on some very positive reviews. Figured i'd see for myself after using my GSO for the past few years.
