5000 Series Ultrawides

I use four different Naglers for my Meade Mak-Cass 7". I love Naglers for the wide view and crisp image. And since, where I live, it is so light polluted and Polaris is not at all convenient to align with, I just point my Losmandy in the general north direction and go so, I'm never polar aligned. Therefore I have concluded that wide field is best for me.

With that said, I'm wondering how the new 5000 Ultrawides are stacking up. Especially with Meade products. I once had a 4000 series 8.8 Ultra that I regret parting with.

Any comments?

Thanks,

Steve

Hello Steve!
To make the story short, it seems that the NEW Meade eyepieces are having some QC issues, so I would personally stick the the TV eyepieces you have until all issues have been worked out...

As Hugh said, there are some threads with much information about this, and a search through these pages will get you all you need to know...

There's a good article, just posted, over at Cloudy Nights comparing the 4.7mm to a 5mm Nagler T6.
