Re: Observing Fri May 11

Mike,

Thanks for letting me use your 40mm ep. My 32mm may not be as bad as I
say, but your 40, and 32, are much better. I wondered if it was just a
bad match for my scope (I've read that field curvature is somewhat
dependent on the scope type). When I get out next I'll have to try to
determine if it's field curvature or coma. But most likely I just
have a crappy 32mm. I will be looking for a somewhat better one - but
my overall cheapness will not allow me to spend much!

Rick
