APM 30mm UFF Works Well for me |

I am very pleased after using this EP for ~6 mo now (for my max rating it must be fully Dioptrx compatible).
My 14.5" f/4 reflector, w/Paracorr II, now has this EP as its home, with a nice ~6.5mm exit pupil & almost 1.3 deg FOV. I avoid eyeglasses for astigmatism, using a Dioptrx (it fits securely in the rubber eyecup after removing the Dioptrx lower housing).
I like its light weight, minimalist form, & excellent views. It is great for starhops to Hickson galaxies & Abell/ACO galaxies, & has been used for seeing larger OCs & asterisms, very faint large galaxies, nebulosities (Sh 2-234, 2-273, 2-301, etc.), & dk nebulae (Horsehead, etc). With & w/o O-III filter, the Veil was great, & I saw (large) dwarf galaxies: Scl, And I/II/III, Peg, Psc.
It's not the lightest 30mm, nor widest AFOV, nor max TFOV for a 2" EP, but it is an excellent lo pwr (~56x) EP for me & I use it more and more. Many have spoken of its virtues, & I confirm them though my usage.
