Re: [ATM] Eyepieces

I have the UO 12mm HD Ortho and it's very contrasty and sharp. Sky looks 
blacker than with my 12mm Ultima. Maybe a little flatter field than my 
Plossls - a more intimate feel. Eye relief isn't bad - I wear glasses. A 
good mix of power and field. I like this ep a lot. I also have an older 
Japanese 4mm Ortho which looks like the UO. I'm guessing they are the 
same. In any case, the eye relief is non-existent, and I rarely get 
conditions good enough to use it, and the magnification is pretty high 
for a non-tracking mount, but, if everything is right the view is 
beautiful.
