newtyng5 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Funny , that eyepiece in your case. Your other eyepieces are fairly big, but that's a mammoth grenade of an eyepiece. ? Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The Nagler 31 is a massive and superb eyepiece, but it can be made to look almost average. tuckstar, newtyng5 and Daz Type-R 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) That is an ES 30mm 100 degree 3" eyepiece. There are even bigger and heavier eyepieces around but not for use on most backyard scopes...
