Product Info

Manufacturer Description

This high power Omni eyepiece is a 4 -element premium symmetrical Plossl optical design. Features include blackened lens edges to minimize internal reflection and maximize contrast, multi-layer coating group on each lens surface to maximize light transmission and contrast, and each Omni goes through a two-step anodizing process to prevent reflection from the top eyepiece barrel, unlike most other manufactures who use reflective surfaces. Threaded barrels accept 1-1/4" Celestron thread-in filters.

Product carries two-year manufacturer limited warranty (within US/Canada only).

      4.0 Its.. alright

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      It's a decent eyepiece. What really bothers me is the eye relief. You really have to press your eye into it.

      5.0 Planet EP

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I use this EP occasionally when I view planets at opposition. Recently, with Mars being so close to Earth, this little EP has had a rather heavy amount of use. It has consistently given me my "Best View of the Night", on many nights. I am using this EP with both a 6" Dobs f/8, and a 60mm refractor f/13, and it preforms nicely on both. I would recommend this EP on slower scopes (f6 and slower), and understand that it has a rather close eye relief. I don't use high power that often, and this nicely priced EP fills that job nicely allowing me to put my money into EP's that I use more regularly. All while giving me great color and sharpness.

      5.0 Great on Saturn

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      Celestron Omni Plossl eyepieces are very nice. I used the 6mm on the moon and Saturn. The images of the moon were sharp and contrasty. It also gave me good separation for Saturn's rings,and o was definitely pushit with a 60mm f14 scope. I really liked changing between the Omni 6mm and the Omni 15mm and not having to refocus.
