Have to agree with you guys, the Antares 8.6 W70 is a great eyepiece, I
bought it along with the Antares 14 mm shortly after I bought a LX10 in
January at the recommendation of someone here ( I can't remember, but I
think it was Jon). I use them both more than my Meade eyepieces that came in
the promotion as a set for 99. Now using them on the C9.25 I just got with
equally good results. Scope Stuff is great to deal with also.
