Explore Scientific 24mm 82' Widefield

Purchased based upon exceptionally favourable reviews the Explore Scientific 24mm 82’ is a close copy (i.e. clone) of the Televue 26mm T5 Nagler.

I have had the opportunity to compare both and the ES24mm lives up to its reputation as the two eyepieces are ostensibly identical under the stars.

I am heading overseas and can’t justify keeping it hence why I am selling it.

As there are no Australian Explore Scientific vendors the brand new cost is USD$299.99 plus UPS Worldwide Expedited shipping at $53.61

Total USD$353.60 – Conversion AUD$489.81 (USD/AUD. 72) + 3% Bank currency conversion fee ($17.14)
Brand new cost including shipping to Australia AUD$506.95

If you want the performance of a 26mm T5 Nagler without the $939 price tag (regular price when not on sale) then the ES 24mm is spectacular value for money.

This eyepiece is in pristine condition and indistinguishable from brand new with all the original box, packaging, unfilled warranty card etc


Asking $330 which includes shipping anywhere in Australia
