Eyepieces

Is there a reasonably priced eyepiece out there that can hold its own with the University Optics HD Orthoscopics?

The first impressions when I received my 36mm Observatory series eyepiece was... It looks different from what I'm used to but that is not necessarily bad... It feels lighter then I thought it would and that is actually good... The eye lens is Huge, this may also be good ... But I take it out of the boltcase and there is an metallic odor coming from the eyepiece... I hope it wears off... and it did.

Have you been looking for a low priced low power eyepiece with excellent optics and wide field of view? I may have found your eyepiece...

Financially challanged observer’s widefield alternative???

When long eye relief, good images, and wide fields of view are required, you can spend lots of money...or not!

Little to date has been written about this new model yet it seems to have garnered a hefty share of bad press. After a rocky daylight intro, it then proceeded, by night, to treat my eyes to some savory sweet surprises.

If you want to have it all eye relief, field of view, contrast, and top notch build quality then you must read this.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, half the size of Earth, and is the closest it will be for astronomical viewing until the year 2018. Mars Madness is upon us, so what’s a person to do? Buy and review some Televue eyepieces of course!

"I decided to buy both the Tele Vue 19mm Panoptic($240) and 10mm Radian($240) 1.25” format eyepieces and try them out on my optically very excellent Celestron Starhopper 8 inch f/6 Dobsonian scope, of 1219.2 mm focal length, which was manufactured about 10 years ago."

My 1 ¼ inch Tele Vue eyepiece collection was recently upgraded as I went on an "eyepiece hunt" for another Tele Vue eyepiece at a local telescope dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area...

Which of these will I pick?

The mammoth 31mm Nagler from Televue “must” be included in every serious visual astronomers eyepiece collection.
