FOR SALE: Antares Elite 25mm Plossls

Antares Elite 5-element Plossls
  • Two 25mm eyepieces available in as new condition.
  • Excellent eyepieces for all types of telescopes.
  • Comfortable long eye relief.
  • 52 degree FOV.
  • End caps, original packaging and winged rubber eyeguards included.
  • Effectively the same eyepiece as other highly regarded Japanese 5-element plossls, e.g., Celestron Ultima, Orion Ultrascopic, Parks Gold Series. As good as plossls get.
  • Very high contrast - excellent on deep sky.
  • The two of them would make a very comfortable pair for binoviewing for all types of objects (see below).
  • Note that one of the eyepieces has recessed the other has straight barrel, but they are optically identical, and perfectly parfocal.
  • Made in Japan.

For binoviewing this one pair can do it all (e.g., with Burgess binoviewer I have for sale here):
  • in Mak or SCT:
    • without OCA for deep sky
    • with 1.9x OCA for lunar and planetary viewing
    • with barlow for high powers when seeing is good (2x barlows magnify typically 2.5-2.8x when used in binoviewer)
  • in Newtonian or refractor:
    • with OCA for deep sky
    • with barlow for lunar and planetary viewing
    • with barlow and OCA for high powers in very good seeing
$90 each.
$160 for the pair.
$130 for the pair if you are also buying my binoviewer.
Prices include regular postage in Australia.

Thanks for looking.
