Apr 20, 2016Good 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.
