Brent (or anyone in the know), is Clave' still in business? If so, who is the current US distributor? For years it was Cross Optics; are they still around? I have a full set of UO Konig-2 in 1.25", the old ones, have had them for about fifteen or twenty years. I noticed some time ago that the 6.5mm & 8mm were dropped from the line, and the new ones are not as fancy as the old ones. These eyepieces are tack-sharp on-axis, however they do exibit some ghosting if a bright planet is slightly off-axis. I absolutely love them for deep-sky, however. One of my favorite tricks is to use my 2.8x Klee barlow with a longer-focal-length eyepiece, to get high power with good eye-relief. Although marketed as a "correcting" Barlow for Newtonians, it works great with refractors and compound telescopes as well. I also have their entire line of 2" eyepieces, except for the Pretoria 28mm, which I sold a couple of years ago when I got my Lumicon coma-corrector. The 32mm WideScan and 40mm 7/70 are magnificent wide-field, well-corrected eyepieces. The Limited Edition 55mm (no longer available) is like looking through a porthole! Does anyone else use UO eyepieces? Chuck __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
