      3.0 Depends on the telescope...

      Pros:

      Strong Construction

      Cons:

      Difficult To Focus

      Comments:

      In my 8" Dob it worked well when observing SN2014J in M82. The FOV makes all the difference. I had the opportunity to try it out on the 82" Otto Struve telescope while viewing Jupiter at McDonald Observatory before a special viewing night. It was poor at best, even with a polarizing filter to cut down the brightness. But probably an unfair test.

      4.0 Quality and Versatility

      Pros:

      Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Clear Image

      Cons:

      Comments:

      After a summer of lousy weather and viewing conditions, finally had a crisp view of the Milky Way and Jupiter. The 9mm and 16mm Agena Megas really delivered, and it was a pleasant surprise to find that they are parfocal with my 42mm GSO Erfle. Spectacular starfields with the Erfle and a large view of Jupiter with all 4 Galilean moons at 226x -- what a viewing session! Great products!
