      5.0 Beautiful, crisp images with tremendous AFOV

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      For the (comparatively) low price of this eyepiece, I was moderating my expectations. I'm happy to say that it looks great. The images are sharp and bright all over the field. I see no obvious distortion either.

      The end of the eyepiece is a little weird because there is no eyecup. When I'm actually looking through the eyepiece, I don't *miss* the eyecup, but if feels odd as I put my head down to it.

      4.0 Nice fov

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Use this with my 8 inch dob and it great. Its heavy and big and awesome. Good eye relief and you can look around without the kidney beaning effect. Nice. Took off a star because of the greese on the threads.
