If you do a Google Search, you'll find a lot of "Celestron" products which also carry the "Chitlan" brand, including a lot of eyepieces that look like these ones. (I've also see them on Amazon with the "VITE" brand; eg http://www.amazon.com/VITE-Aspheric-..._bsnr_499164_6 .) I don't know what "Chitlan" means - but I suspect it's Chinese for "fake".

My personal favourite is this listing for a "Celestron" 20 mm eyepiece:

Chitlan 20mm of bovine anti bovine anti telescope eyepiece magnification positive eyepiece for bovine anti astronomy

(I think it might have lost something in the translation! )
