Hi guys,
After all the complaints about the poor weather, I have decided to come clean. Yes, I am to blame. I got a few new astro toys recently:
1. 1 pair of GSO 20mm eyepieces
2. 1 pair of GSO 15mm eyepieces
3. 1 pc Harry Siebert Galaxy Viewer 0.5X for SCT/MCT (for binoviewing)
4. 1 pc Orion 90mm MCT
Item #3 is essentially a focal reducer for SCTs and MCTs to be used for binoviewing only.
I managed to get these to coincide with the traditional period of poor weather.
Hope to update you guys when I have the chance to test them out.

Have a nice day.
Weixing is spot on. There were a couple of favourable reports on it and I thought the price was pretty good for the FOV. The build was also a step above the usual Plossls. I bought 2 of each of the 1.25" for binoviewing.
