I was thinking about ordering some eyepieces from Agena Astro Products http://www.agenaastro.com/
They have great prices, but I have never heard of them. Does anyone have any experience dealing with this company?

Yes, I wouldn't be concerned. Excellent prices as well as excellent customer service.

Tom:

I have never bought anything from Mannish (at Agena)but I have had several email exchanges, very helpful.

My only concern is that while I am sure the eyepieces are a good deal, are they what you are looking for and/or need? I see you have an RV-6, so most eyepieces will do the job. If you have a faster scope, one needs to be more careful.

I bought a pair of eyepieces from Agena Astro a couple weeks ago and have been very pleased. Shipping was really quick and I got fast confirmation by email. Easily the best service I have gotten from any of the small astronomy equipment dealers I've used.

I bought some binocular solar filters a year or so ago and got a call from the owner to tell me that the only thing he had in stock had a slight flaw; was I still interested? The flaw turned out to be a small mold parting line. How many vendors call you directly to check your ordering preference? Great service - highly recommended.

Tom. I ordered a $20.00 part from Agena. I got an email that he would ship it the next business day. The next business day I got an email that he had shipped it. I got it today, total time 6 days. The man is working hard to do a fine job. I don't think you would have any problem doing business with him. Randy
