GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 4mm
YES
I use this with my 10 inch Zhumell Dobsonian Telescope, and the 4mm eyepiece shows excellent detail of the Moon, and great detail of Saturn and its rings. But what is really fascinating is that you can see the different colors of the poles on Saturn ...

William Optics 1.25" SPL Series Eyepiece - 3mm
Nice solid eyepiece at a great price
The WO 3mm SPL is a nice eyepiece. It offers generous eye relief and good high power views. The price at Agena astroproducts beat everyone and having bought from them before I knew the sale would be great again. Definitely a good deal.

Baader 1.25" & 2" Hyperion Eyepiece - 13mm # HYP-13 2454613
Baader 13mm Hyperion
I received the Baader 13mm Hyperion which is a premium ocular of this quality. This eyepiece fits both 2" & 1.25" focusers. Galaxies and globulars are striking with the 13mm Hyperion in my 12.5" F5 Discovery PDHQ Dob. I really like the performance of...

Baader 1.25" & 2" Hyperion Eyepiece - 8mm # HYP-8 2454608
Baader 8mm Hyperion
For those of you that have trouble buying high dollar eyepieces I would suggest you take a serious look at the 8mm Hyperion. This eyepiece is a great performer on all objects I used it on. While it's definitely not a Nagler or Pentax XL, for the mone...

GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 9mm
Excellent value for the price
This eyepiece from GSO is very good, the images are formed very well, even in the borders. I use this eyepiece for great magnification with objects like M42, Pleiades, Jewel Box and other DSOs. I use it mostly for planets and nebulae viewing. The coa...

GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 32mm
Best low power eyepiece for your money
The 32mm GSO Plossl is a great low mag eyepiece, very sharp FOV even with my f/5 scope and great contrast. It will make a nice finder EP. This EP is fully multi-coated with blackened edges and with a security recess barrel. It is better than all of m...

GSO 1.25" SuperView Eyepiece - 15mm
Great quality eyepiece
This eyepiece has a great FOV, turning it very good for deep-sky and object searching. It is the first eyepiece I use in every session. The glasses and coatings quality make it very clear and free of internal reflections. It has good eye relief too. ...

Meade Series 4000 1.25" Super Plossl Eyepiece - 32mm # 07176-02
Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl 32mm
This large eyepiece is a very good "workhorse" eyepiece. While not the best 32mm eyepiece on today's market, it will give decent views at an acceptable price. While not of the same quality as a Televue, it's an eyepiece that one can use at star parti...

Meade Series 4000 1.25" Super Plossl Eyepiece - 40mm # 07177-02
Meade Super Plossl 40mm
I once owned the complete set of Meade series 4000 Super Plossl eyepieces, but I sold the set some time ago. However, I borrowed the 40mm SP eyepiece last night again from the person I sold the set to and used it in my 8" f/10 LX-90 SCT. The skies we...

Agena 1.25" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 15mm
Very good EP, especially for the price
I ordered this EP a few months back, and then ordered a 13mm Hyperion not long after. I love the Hyperion, and use it frequently, but it recently got smudged, and I needed something in the same focal range. I grabbed the Agena 15mm SWA and was pretty...

Vixen 1.25" LVW Lanthanum Wide Eyepiece - 8mm # 3895
Vixen Lanthanum Wide LVW8mm
During the last star party that I went to, there were a number of high powered eyepieces for almost anyone to look through and I did plenty. I was most interested in the "Lanthanum Glass" experience. This was my third eyepiece with Lanthanum glass, a...

Baader 1.25" & 2" Hyperion Eyepiece - 13mm # HYP-13 2454613
My new favorite eyepiece
The 13mm Hyperion has become my new favorite EP. The wide AFOV is great for locating objects in the sky, esp. planets. I'm no expert, but Saturn and Jupiter appear clearly across the entire field of view, and since the view is so wide, I don't need t...

GSO 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece - 32mm
Classic 32mm Plossl
This eyepiece is a high quality 32mm plossl. It is a nearly perfect example of this type of eyepiece. It does not have any weaknesses, except for those that are inherent in the design. Good points first, it makes a great finder scope, stars are pi...

Baader 1.25" & 2" Hyperion Eyepiece - 17mm # HYP-17 2454617
Best of the Bunch
This is the best of the Hyperion line. With a true FOV about equal to the 21mm and 24mm Hyperion, yet more magnification, gives you sharper views within the same frame or area. This is my most used Hyperion. If you are only going to get 1, get this o...

Agena 1.25" Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Eyepiece - 11mm
Not Bad
Works great in my f10 SCT and f15 Mak, but really falls apart on my f5 refractor and f4.5 reflector. This EP does have a very short eyerelief, not for thoses who wear glasses while observing. In the slower scopes it gives a nice wide view. Quality on...

Baader 1.25" & 2" Hyperion Eyepiece - 21mm # HYP-21 2454621
Fine EP
Not bad at all for the price. Very close to Nagler views, but would be better compared to a Panoptic. Slight coma on fast scopes at the edge. This is coma not seen when using a Nagler, though some coma is visable even in the Naglers with fast scopes....

1.25" GSO 20mm Superview from Agena

Baader Hyperion Mark-III Clickstop Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # HYP-ZOOM 2454824
Only eyepiece I use most nights.
For the price, it's 5 stars! I bought this eyepiece because it has comfortable eye relief throughout the range. The eye relief on the 10mm plossl that came with my 8" Dob was painfully short. My wife, who must wear glasses to observe, could not see m...
