A fantastic eyepiece and service at AgenaAstro is fantastic!
Agena 1.25
Agena 1.25" Starguider Dual ED Eyepiece - 25mm
4.0
Excellent in a slow scope
My four-star rating for the 25mm Agena Starguider Dual ED eyepiece is a compromise due to very different performance in fast and slow telescopes. The eyepiece shows a clear and sharp image in my 114mm f/7.9 newtonian reflector. The 60° field of vie...

great set of orthos
If you're reading this, you likely already appreciate why a good set of orthos can enhance observing small objects like planetary nebula, lunar features, and the planets. These are highly regarded Japanese orthos and they deliver a great high co...

Celestron 1.25
Celestron 1.25" X-Cel LX Eyepiece - 25mm # 93426
5.0
Excellent low-power eyepiece for a fast reflector
I purchased this eyepiece to use with a 130mm f/5 newtonian reflector. It's an excellent match for that telescope. Before trying this eyepiece I tried the 25mm Agena Starguider Dual ED. I was disappointed to find it exhibited serious curvature ...
Explore Scientific 1.25
Explore Scientific 1.25" 82° Series Argon-Purged Waterproof Eyepiece - 8.8mm
5.0
Excellent value
I use this with two telescopes, one of them down to f/5. The level of optical correction and its build quality is very good for its price.
Meade Series 4000 2
Meade Series 4000 2" Super Plossl Eyepiece - 56mm # 07178-02
5.0
Outstanding Low Power Eyepiece
This is a really wonderful low cost wide field eyepiece. Very immersive well-corrected views. Probably gives one of the widest fields of view for a 2" eyepiece. Surprisingly comfortable and easy eye placement, much better than similar eyepieces....

Meade Series 5000 1.25
Meade Series 5000 1.25" HD-60 Eyepiece - 25mm # 07735
4.0
Good crisp eyepiece for the money.
I am using this with a Celestron 5" mak for terred trial viewing. It gives good crisp images. No problem seeing 1/6" holes at 200 yrds. Not a jaw dropping FOV, but perfect for my needs.
Docter 1.25
Docter 1.25" & 2" 84-deg Ultra Wide Angle UWA Eyepiece - 12.5mm
5.0
Docter 12.5 Ultra Wide Angle
The Docter 12.5 Ultra Wide Angle is a beautiful eyepiece to hold or observing with most scopes. At the widest point there is a grip ring to firmly hold this substantial wide angle 2" or 1.25" glass. I have used these in 100mm binoculars to ...

I really like this eyepiece.
I recently purchased this eyepiece and used it for several hours on a clear moonless night in my 80 mm f/7 Stellarvue achromat refractor. The eyepiece setup for this scope consists of the 25, 12 and 8 mm Starglider series with a Celestron Ultima Barl...

Good at f/5
I purchased this for use with 130mm f/5 Newtonian reflector. There's astigmatism near the edge of the field, as one would expect with a fast scope, but it's not objectionable. With an inexpensive barlow lens most of the edge astigmatism dis...

Excellent value
Beautiful, crisp views. I'm a beginning astronomer, but have used pro still and video equipment for years. I'm impressed by the build quality and the clear views this eyepiece affords.

Agena 1.25" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 10mm
I'm a beginner but there is definitely a bid difference between the stock eyepiece and this one. Yes, this is a super wide angle and the stock was not. The clarity is much better and eye relief is much better. You can also tell by the weight of ...
Celestron 1.25
Celestron 1.25" Luminos Eyepiece - 15mm # 93432
5.0
Great eyepiece
Excellent clarity with a Celestron 127 mm Mak. Need to view without glasses to take advantage of the wide apparent field of view. Nifty eye cups. Easily distinguish 1/6 inch holes @ 200 yrds.

Kokusai Kohki 1.25" Fujiyama HD-OR Orthoscopic Eyepiece (Japan) - 6mm
5.0
Fujiama HD orthos
Going back to old-school certainly is refreshing when you have such quality Japanese lenses to look through. Sure they have narrower fields of view compared to the wide Field eyepieces of today. It’s the clarity and “snap” of the image that imm...
