Love this eyepiece!
Pros: Cons: Comments:Used in my f5 reflector, it corrects coma that is seen in a Plossl, and has better contrast so that nebula really stand out. This is a huge step up for just a little more cost.

Mar 8, 2017Great buy, highly recommended
Pros: Cons: Comments:I have been planning to buy this eyepiece for a long time, in order to replace a combination of a 2x Barlow lens with 25mm plossl (that has come with my SkyWatcher 5 inch Maksutov telescope).
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
The lens is big and heavy compared to a plossl, and almost twice as wide in back diameter. The rotating eyeguard is very convenient compared to the rubber eyecaps of the cheaper eyepieces.
I am very pleased with the 60degs field of view, it gives plenty of time to watch until planets glide out of the fov - no need for frequent adjustment with my mechanical mount. The contrast is very high and the details are super sharp - apparently across the whole fov. The only slight difficulty comes when using this eyepiece with the 2x Barlow - the eye positioning suddenly becomes critical and additional internal reflections produce glow at the Moon terminator. However this Barlow allowed me to use this eyepiece for obtaining 260x magnification with comfortable eye relief and wide fov.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Aug 8, 2014Great views in a binoviewer
Pros:Quality Lenses,Easy to Use
Cons:Difficult to Use
Comments:I bought two of these for use in a binoviewer and except for a hiccup where I forgot the instructions on bringing two images together, these have been great. The great eye relief also means I can show off the binoviewer to people with glasses. Very satisfied customer.

May 3, 2012I will be buying others in this line
Pros:Easy to Use,Compact,Accurate,Strong Construction,Lightweight,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:This eyepiece is great. It has little or no refocusing between lens changing and the twist up rubber is great as sometimes I use glasses. Focusing on planets is very clear and crisp.

Jun 6, 2011Great performance for the value
Pros:Strong Construction,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:I think is a very good performer for the value. I have used the previous X-cel eps and this exceeds the optical quality. Very good optics, and very good construction, very good eyerelief for people that wear eyeglasses. 60 deg field of view. The twist-up eyecups works better than click stops used by other brands. Good planetary images
