Hi,

I'm looking for a similar product to Andrews 30 mm 80 Degrees Ultra Wide Field Eyepiece.

Any suggestions ? Don't want to pay $$$$$

Thank you

GSO Superview 30mm. $69. At Andrews. Wouldn't recommend it in a fast Newtonian though(F5 and below). Its only 68 degrees not 80 as well. Larger AFOV require more glass and thus cost more.
Consider a 32mm plossl if you are going to use it in a fast newt.

I used to have this EP when I had my old 12" DOB and really liked it. For the money it was one of the best EP.
I bought myself 10" SkyWatcher dob f4.7 and wanted to get something similar to that EP

I have one of these and like it a lot. Gave me great views of the Veil at Astrofest.

Try placing an ad in the Trade/Wanted section. That's how I ended up with mine.

Yes I have tried this EP before when I had my old 12" DOB. It was great.
