Works great with fast reflector
Pros:Quality Lenses,Strong Construction,Accurate,Easy to Use
Cons:Heavy
Comments:Probably the best low power eyepiece for my Starblast 4.5. When I look at the NGC 869 and 884 Double Cluster with this eyepiece, I can see more stars than with any other low power eyepiece I've ever used. The stars in Cygnus look really good too. Nice wide view. Good eye relief but no problems with eye position or blackouts. Great for scanning and star hopping.
