Based on my last messages concerning the image of Mars, I would like to see how my 20 year (or so) old orthoscopic Meade purchased (they do not have Meade stamped on them) eyepieces compare with current technology ones. If anyone is planning on attending the September 20 Cherry Road star party and has around a 25 mm and 16 mm eyepieces of current technology and would be willing to test my eyepieces against what you have please let me know if you will be attending. You can send me a private message. To be comparable, the focal length of your telescope should be near that of mine, an f15. I would think an f11 would be close enough to give me an idea of whether the current technology eyepieces would do a better job on my telescope than the ones I have.
