I've used the 31mm Nagler on my 10" LX200 and it is nothing short of
amazing! It's like a whole new telescope! The full moon easily fits in
the field, and M42 is jaw droppingly fantastic. It is a monster eyepiece,
but actually weighs less than the old 20mm Nagler. The 31mm focal length
(about 81x with my 10" f/10) is perfect for about 90% of the visual
observing I do with my scope. From my 4 years of very heavy use of my 10"
f/10 LX200, I'd say that this is the ONE eyepiece that a LX200 owner should
have. The only other eyepiece that I would like to have eventually now is
the 16mm Nagler to fill in the gap between the 31mm Nagler and the 7mm
Nagler. My Meade Plossls's don't get much use any more.
