Stratus line is the same as the Hyperion line from Baader. Same EP as the Saxon SWA and the Celestron Duo.

Separate design from LVW. Not a "copy" - sorry Wavy These are designed for refractors, SCTs and Maks. Only the 5mm performs really well in Newts as it uses a different design. The 5mm does an outstanding job in my 8" f/4 Newt. The other focal lengths are excellent in refractors SCTs and Maks.

The Orion Lanthanum Super Wide is the same as the LVW. This line was available for only a couple of years. Because they carry the Orion badge not the Vixen one, they are cheaper for the exact same EP. Used both LVW and Lanthanum Super Wides, same focal lengths too, and exact same. Badge difference makes the Orions more of a bargain
