Big improvement over Plossl eyepiece
The 15mm wide angle ED eyepiece made a huge improvement in the usability of my 6" Orion Dob. No longer do I have to keep my eye in exactly the right position -- as was the case with the 10mm Plossl eyepiece -- to be able to see anything in the s...

Very good filter
This filter works as announced. It doesn't eliminate 100% of violet, but only show it on extremely bright object like Vega star, but for this is not a problem. I can make some good astrophoto with a acromatic scope.

Awesome!
I picked up the last Orion G4 before they went back order for a month at $500. Probably a defective restock. It had no red would not align the two colors left and was a hassle to work with. Naturally I am apprehensive with this one I got for interim...

RotoLock Eyepiece Adapter
I initially purchased a blue one to evaluate how I liked the adapter mechanism performance while changing out eyepieces. After three months I ordered a red one, so I guess these RotoLock adapters kind of grow on you. Nice build quality and performan...

Rock solid
Now my camera is fixed all the time. No more problems with small screws that never hold the camera.

Excellent.
This an excellent addition for a Celestron 6SE. Now my telescope is more solid and way easier to use different dovetails and add more accessories.

Great upgrade from the basic eyepieces provided with Nexstar 6SE
I'm new to this hobby, although have been an avid reader of Sky & Telescope for years. Acquired a Nexstar 6SE and with several entry level eyepieces, and wanted to see if an upgrade would provide any material/observable benefits. Acquired ...
