radians/pentax ?????

Posted By MARK PAJOR

Well after selling almost all my eyepieces, its going to be time to buy some hot new glass. For my scopes 9.25xlt m603 at f/10 and a fs-102,at f/8.6, so which to buy. I do need the eye relief so the pentax and radians should to the trick as far as comfortable viewing. So the question really is which to buy. So guys give me your best, before the wife takes my credit card away. grin thanks to all

diagonals is there a differance

Posted By MARK PAJOR

Hello all. After looking around I have decided that it might be worth going out on the limb to buy a new 2 inch diagonal.With so many out there to choose from, its rather confusing, 99% reflectivity, 97% reflectivity, aluminun vs.silver, dielectric, or enhanced, then throw in the quartz,and then prisms, whats the differance and whats good and whats not. Wow mind blowing to say the least. So I really am hoping a few of you good folks here can really shed some light here on diagonals.Also, would like to know if spending the extra money for the top brand names is really worth it. Now I will be using the diagonal just for viewing. thanks mark
