Eyepieces

Here is my take on these eyepieces compared to several other brands. Hope that you enjoy the review and maybe even agree with it.

Can these optically compete with Naglers?

I needed a finder for my 82mm F8.5 Achromat, I purchased a 32mm plossl instead.

Pentax offers some of the finest eyepieces on the market, and is about to introduce some very impressive apochromatic refractors to the American market. Yet the company seems curiously unaware of other trends and opportunities.

Siebert Optics Power Wheel barlow.

I have given the Meade 20mm 5K Plossl a "shootout" with three other eyepieces. Is this a "poor man's Panoptic?"

The accessories for astronomy just keep getting better and better. First my ED 80mm, then my Burgess binoviewer and now here is another example.

Are all Plossls alike? You may be surprised where differences affect performance.

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.
