On the question of nice widefields for the SV102ED I endorse everything that has
been said about the Hyperions they seem to be well matched to the optics of the
telescope and I too find my most used piece is the 17mm. I also have the 3.5
but rarely used because of dust and light pollution here in Bahrain. I also
find the 24mm and 31mm useful and my Hyperion zoom is superior to the Vixen.
The zoom is nice because it has a click stop so you know without looking what
setting you are on. I have never detected any chromatic aberration in any of the
Hyperions even when viewing on the limb of the Moon.

Regards to all from Nick

I spend the cash! Thanks. --- John
