Using DS eyepieces for viewing on a ED82 fieldscope?
Here's a look at how the 30/38x MC, 24/30x DS and 24/30x MC (left to right) compare physically. All of the DS eyepieces are essentially the same shape/size/weight. The lenses are larger in diameter on the DS. I have not compared the 24/30 eyepieces side by side extensively. I did set both... -
