Locitus, thank-you for taking the time to post the pictures, that is a great looking scope, I kind of wish I put a bid or two in now. I was wondering if you might clear up a few points for me based on trying to compare the Hunter scope and some of my picture in post # 7
The Branded eyepiece: The stages where the angles and tapers change look to have greater definition and be sharper than the pictures of the ASI, Sussex and Webley eyepieces - is the branded eyepiece made of plastic?
The unbranded eyepiece: Does is have extra lip I referred to where the eyepiece meets the tube of the scope? It looks as if it may but hard to tell as the receiver rings are very close and secondly is the unbranded eyepiece missing a section at the end? All of then unbranded eyepieces above have and extra ring that screws into the end that is around 1 - 2mm in depth. I can't see from the pictures if it there or not but it looks not to be as I can't see the tell tale groove where the two pieces meet when screwed together.
Whatever the case that scope is certainly very close to the Sussex and the ASI. Good for you. One to add to the list!
Thanks again for posting.
Andy
