I would assume that this eyepiece is part of your astro investment. It will bring you good return in the near future.

Yes, reminds me of chimney! Or the exhaust of a F-16 engine!

I didn't really expect it to be as big as the Pentax XLs...
Thought it was like those Ultima 30/35 mm sizes.
The coating is very dark green.....certainly darker than the TV 32mm Plossl that I have. Just a tad lighter than the Pentax SMC coating.
Quite revolutionary for a 20 years old eyepiece.

Tachyon said he saw "Your Ad". You wanted to sell it?
In my opinion, If I had one, I would keep it and be a proud owner.
