I remember John Dobson telling folks at ALCON last summer that his favorite eyepieces were made from old binoculars scavenged from thrift stores and pawn shops...
I love that statement!
I have a fondness for my own eyepieces also. It comes as a shock to many people that an eyepiece made from "junk" optics can be just as sharp, or sharper, than a mass-produced item.
I also like having the option of tailoring things like eye-relief, FOV, etc., to just precisely what I"m after, not having to accept what a nameless engineer decided-on, sitting in his office somewhere.
Sounds like we have the makings of a seminar!
