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. ...

GSO 2" SuperView Eyepiece - 30mm
GSO SuperView 30mm
I have been using this 2" 30mm eyepiece for several nights in my C8 f/10 SCT and I have seen pretty good views through this. Specifications indicate this as a wide field eyepiece. But it is kind of strange that when I use this 2" 30mm in my SCT with ...

GSO 2" SuperView Eyepiece - 42mm
Great eyepiece for the price!
This is now my favorite eyepiece for my 100mm f/6 achromatic refractor. Absolutely tack sharp across the entire field with a bright but contrasty image! It is definitely a little heaver than my other eyepieces, so I have to rebalance my GEM when I u...

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...

Meade Series 4000 2" Super Plossl Eyepiece - 56mm # 07178-02
Meade Super Plossl 2 inch 56mm Eyepiece
Wow!! What a huge eyepiece. This is the biggest eyepiece I've ever looked into. When I re-checked out the Meade 40mm series 4000, my friend had the 56mm for me to look through. I thought my GSO 30mm 2" was a big eyepiece, and it is, but this 56mm Mea...

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...

Agena 2" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 32mm
Excellent eyepiece at a great price
I read a number of reviews and ultimately decided to get the SWA eyepieces opposed to the UWA eyepiece. I am extremely pleased with the quality, construction, and optics. The eyepieces large, heavy, and well constructed. The compression ring works...

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...

Agena 2" Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Eyepiece - 30mm
Best [$] I ever spent
Not really a "professional" but I have been very active in my local astronomy club as I participate in over 20 outreaches per year. This eyepiece is by far one of the best ever. I did recommend it to a friend and he used his and I used my eyepiece ...

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...

Agena 2" Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Eyepiece - 20mm
Giant leap up from the 1.25"
Much better eyerelief than the 1.25 UWA versions of this EP line. Much better views. Clearer sharper, and even holds up well enough to tolerate in an f5 scope. The 20mm has to be the best of this bunch. Great price for what you get.

Agena 2" Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Eyepiece - 30mm
Perfect finder
With its low price and wide FOV this is a perfect finder EP. Holds togeather well enough for scopes down to f5, but still for the price makes a great finder EP for a f4.5. Excellent EP for f10 and slower scopes.

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....

Agena 2" Super Wide Angle (SWA) Eyepiece - 26mm
GREAT 2" LENS
WOW, what can you say about a true 2" 26mm lens that performes like a 500 dollar lens. Just can't say enough about this lens. The glass was coated and the performance in an 8 and 10 inch SCT was flawless as compared head to head with a 500 dollar len...

Very nice eyepiece
Built tough and heavy, 2" barrel is painted alloy silver on outside black inside the lenses are 1.25 in a 2" body so if you are looking for a true 2" lense this is not that. Used in a sct 10" and 8", the lens was very nice with slight blur at edges b...
