      4.0 Good eyepiece, but smallish AFOV

      Pros:

      Accurate,Easy to Use,Strong Construction,Quality Lenses

      Cons:

      Feels Less Than 65 Degree

      Comments:

      Good quality eyepiece, but it feels like less than 65 degrees when viewing through it. Some lateral color also on Jupiter and lots on Venus. Great for small deep sky objects.
