I have recently taken up astronomy. Until I bought this eyepiece I have been using Skywatcher plossl eyepieces on my Skywatcher ST102 telescope. (102mm x 500mm i.e. f5) I have been getting good, but not outstanding results. This eyepiece was my Christmas present to myself. I have only had sufficient clear sky to get a good view of Jupiter for about 10 minutes, but it was all I needed to be able to see just how good the optics are. The Galilean moons were not just visible, they were exceptionally bright. The atmospheric bands on Jupiter were the clearest I have ever seen them. I am anxious to look at Saturn & Mars next.It is possible to alter the effective focal length of the eyepiece by either using special spacing rings (FTR fine tuning rings)

A young friend of mine let me use his 5mm and 10mm Baader units.I thought they were first class. I wrongly ordered an 8mm bymistake-but i am very glad i did. These lenses are such a clever design--i call them the LEGO OF EYE-PIECES. A couple of moronson some sight i came across had the usual moan-even down to the packaging. I found nothing to moan at,the lens at 8mm has a bright-sharp focus on my big optical machine. I can*t wait for Jupiter to come around later on in the year. It has the largest eye-lens i have seen on such a power lens. The apparent field does seem wider than 68 degrees. LEGO take the achromat out of the lens endand magically,it becomes about 22mm focus.

I purchased these from Amazon.de for about £425. Each EP is boxed as an individual retail item which is fantastic; if like me you already own one or more and will sell-on the equivalent new EP. Considering each EP retails at between £80 & £90 and you get the case which is really handy for storage (which normally retails around £50) this is a great deal.I already had the 21mm EP and was really impressed with the image quality on a celestron 9.25 SCT. With the poor weather I've only been able to try them once so far, but have been really pleased with theThese clearly aren't TV Delos league, but they are a fraction of the price. I doubt I'll use them all; specifically the 5mm as that's probably a bit over the top for UK viewing conditions.

Excellent eyepiece when used on a Zeiss Diascope telescope. My impression is that it is a little sharper with slightly wider field of view than the Zeiss zoom eyepiece. It is easier to use if one where's eyeglasses. Good robust construction. Chromatic aberrations are hardly noticeable used as an eyepiece but are significant when coupling to a camera. Better to use the Zeiss adapter for photographic purposes. The mount rather than the FTR joint undid initially. It's a narrow diameter and therefore subject to greater force. Obviously not done up as tightly as it should be or not locked correctly.

excellent product.high optics - blown away with views of the planets like juipter which now i could see its gas clouds and other stars.views of the moon excellent, very crisp and without any fuzz. craters are all clearly seen.eyepiece is a little tricky to set up and move via telescope allignment. eyepiece also needs good conditions but so long as clear skies eyepiece is still flawlessevery penny spent on this was worth it.

What a stunning EP, wide field views of the moon are stunning. This EP really comes into its own when viewing star clusters and Nebulae. I also own the 31mm EP which is a stunning EP in it's own right. The reviews here are mostly referring to the Hyperion range not the Aspheric range, there appears to be some confusion. I also own the complete Hyperion range who h are also outstanding.

Lovely eyepieces giving full bright views. Each is 'modular', so you get double the amount of eyepieces except the larger one. 5mm is as usable as the rest, even when Barlowed! Threaded tops mean they can be fitted to the DSLR with the required T adapter. They come in a large foam lined case - very nice!

This is a very well made product and feels much more solid than the eyepieces typically supplied when purchasing a telescope.The wide angle view afforded by this eyepiece is great and clarity is very good across the field of view.Arrived promptly from the supplier.

great viewing on my skywatcher 150P reflector and I love the flexibilty of it - I can attach my dslr with the optional adaptor, and I've also got the 14mm fine tuning ring which changes the focal length to 4mm. really flexible piece of kit !

Excellent product but be aware they are much bigger and heavier than standard eye pieces enclosed with telescopes. Well made and the magnification can is extendable by 4 x using the optional fine tuning rings.

Excellent product but be aware they are much bigger and heavier than standard eye pieces enclosed with telescopes. Well made and the magnification range is extendable using the 2 optional fine tuning rings.

That 1 star rating is “appalling”! You won’t get a better collection of eyepieces for the money (I paid £445) I have used all these eyepieces and have found the viewing to be excellent.

This is a very high quality eye-piece.It weighs a lot so it will mess with the balance of your scope a little but the optical quality is stunning.Not really for beginners.

Great EPs a bit bulky but gives very good definition and easy to use with a DSLR camera, if you purchase an adaptor, not quite as good as Televue but half the price.

A very, very, nice eyepiece. Feels well made and has given us some incredible detail on a 1200mm Dobsonian.
