Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Focal length matters This eyepiece apparently does not do too well in a short focal length telescope like the small refectors, and provides fuzzy edges. That would probably all go away on a longer focal length scope, say f/9 to f/15. Simpler (Fewer elements) eyepieces do not generally do as well on fast f/4 to f/8 scopes. But overall this is a fairly good eyepiece for lower powers. Rating: - Update after receiving the eyepiece This is an update of my review earlier. Now that I've received the eyepiece and had a chance to try it, I'm disappointed. The outer 25-30% of it's 67 degree field is severely distorted. This means it has no more real useable FOV than a standard plossl. If I focus stars in the outer field, the on-axis view is badly out of focus, and vice-versa. I gave it a three since I used a GC I had to pay for a good portion of it. If I'd paid full price, I'd have given it a 2. Rating: - Awesome field of view and it won't empty your wallet. This works just fine in my ETX 125 and also worked well in an 8" LX. Yeah, the box will say for ETX 60 and 70. But, Don't worry about it. If your scope takes a 1.25" eye piece, It will work. It's also true this is not the six element eyepiece. It is a four element version. But, It is has same wide 67 degree field of view and it's 1/3 the price. The coatings are good, the image is nice right to the edge, and it has ample eye relief. Although this is not the best eyepiece I've looked through, it offers a very pleasing veiw. A lot of bang for the buck. I'm glad I got one. I should have got two. If you have a binoviewer a pair of these would be real nice.
