I picked up the orion 15mm expanse last month and really enjoy it. I am trying to decide between the 9mm and the 6 mm now. I had read some where that performance wise that the 9mm was a bit better? I am planing to pick up some of the Stratus 5mm or 3.5 later. any thoughts?

The 9mm is the better of the two EPs, I have had both.
I have not had the Stratus, so no comment on that one.

Tim,
I purchased a Baader Hyperion at NEAF this past weekend and am eagerly waiting to try it. When speaking with Adirondack astronomy, they said the 3.5mm hasn't really been moving so he might be running a special on it. If this is the focal length your looking for, I would keep my eye on their web site to see if you could pick one up at a discount.

What scope would you be using with it?

Jay
