Great! Unfortunately, I do not have anything in the 9mm, except for the Celestron 9mm Plossl that comes with the kit. I dun think that's worth comparing. You use this pair on your BV? Maybe we can have a BV EP testdrive:

1. Antares 9mm x2
2. GSO 15mm x2
3. Panoptic 19mm x2

If we can borrow Remus' LVW 3.5mm which is for sale, maybe we can have another pair!

Cheers!

btw, the eyepieces available for planetary work include the xp3.8, xp8. Have a tak barlow here too. The LVW3.5 can be tested as well. Have a 5mm Tak but it is a reticle version. If there is a clear session, will bring down whatever relevant to the shootout.
