On the eyepiece front, one of the most exciting developments to
come out of 2006 was the
UWAN (Ultra-Wide ANgle)
range from William Optics. The attached image shows the full range
of 4, 7, 16 and 28mm focal lengths. Aside from the 2-inch format
28mm model, these are 1.25-inch format oculars. These eyepieces are
intended to compete with the finest from TeleVue. Given that they
are roughly 70% the price of equivalent Naglers, are they worth the
asking price? See what I thought by

Do you own a Newtonian reflector? If, like me, you don't like to
see the diffraction spikes emanating from your cross-shaped
secondary holder (spider), why not upgrade your 'scope with a
Destiny curved spider from Hans Wiest? Not only do
they look great, but you may be impressed with the improvement in
image quality. See what I thought of them by
