Russian 25mm 2" ultrawide eyepiece for sale
I paid 370 for this at SPSP2005 now I don't use it because of my naglers. So it is for sale at $270.00 to clear it quick.

This eyepiece give quite comparable views to a Nagler, at f10 and f6.3 shows no curvature in the field and pinpoint stars to the edge. At F4.5 I wasn't able to detect any problems in the eyepeice either, on a 18" or a 30" scope, so your 12" dobbies out there will benefit big time with this eyepiece.

For those that own an f5 dob and living with light polution, an exit pupil of 5mm as given by a 25mm eyepiece gives a much nicer (IMO) darker sky background than a longer focal length one.
The only time I use my 31mm nagler is at a dark sky locations, and my 24mm panoptic gets
much more use.

25mm 80 degrees.. that's more true field than I was going to get with the 32mm 60 degree meadee I'm thinking of buying.
Has it got a brand name or is it just a good ole commie
