Hey Everyone,


I'm a noob and I would sooo appreciate a line or two about why this particular eye piece is great for you and your scope.

A comment like this goes a loong way - I will certainly stay away from buying this particular one:

The coke can has disappointing optical properties, although being free of coma, astigmatism and chromatic abberation, it was somewhat opaque. I also had to use a 4lb lump hammer to get it in the focuser.
I can best describe it's performance as "sub-optimal". Still, it's probably better than those Modified Achromat eyepieces you get with low-end SkyWatchers ...
More of this, pretty please?

Cheers Annette
