It's an excellent eyepiece and very similar in its performance to the 13mm ETHOS. It is a bit bigger and heavier than the 13mm ETHOS. It is clearly a better performer than any previous Chinese made eyepiece clone I have used. Considering the price saving it probably represents good value. Like the ETHOS the eye relief is too short to use with glasses on.

Cheers,

Hi John,

I had a look through it too at Coonabarabran on the Obsession 18"/F4.2 UC and
it was delivering good views.

Best Regards

Gary
