>sharp and clear with good eye relief, a little stiff motion though

i found last night that at about-1deg C the zoom became too stiff to turn and the ep was twisting around in the focusser!!
anyone else had this problem in cold weather?
otherwise a very nice ep.

>I have had this eyepiece for at least 5 years. In the days when I was using an LX200 - 8" it was the perfect thing for public star parties. A 32mm Plössl was all that was needed. I especially liked not having too many eyepieces out in public. The optics do scatter the light a bit, which with an 8 or 10 inch; was okay, but recently I went to a C6 and it needs all the help it can get. So, I have gone to the Takahashi LEs in its place and will sell it. For the right scope and the right circumstances it is a very good eyepiece.

Sorry, but I must amend my statement here. Silly I know to reply to your own message, but I left out some important words that must clarify.

It should read, "Coupled with a 32mm Plossl, together they were the only things needed."
