Hi , I have a Coranado SolarMax 40 with BF10 and the 3 Coranado eyepieces 12.5mm , 18mm and 25mm with a 2x Barlow that come with it work very well in my scope .
They all look like the millions of generic plossl's out there , but Coranado say they are tuned towards 'Ha' light , and I would believe them as the 12.5mm shows much more prominance and surface detail when tuned into either than both my 12.5mm Orthoscopic and 12mm Vixen LV , both very good eyepieces on night time sky .
The 18mm and 25mm and Barlow all do a better job at Ha observing than similar f/l Ortho's , TV's , Lv's and Meades that I have .
I really thought the Coranado spheel on their eyepieces was hype , but the proof is in the viewing , they are better in my scope , using my eyes .
Brian.
