SOLD
I have an Orion Deepview 2" 35 mm eyepiece for sale, like new in box with caps. It is a plossl style, but has a generous field of view (56 degrees). It is also nice and light. Cost is $75 plus postage. Here is the blurb from Orion:
Assuming that you don’t subscribe to the misconception that strong magnification gives better views of deep-sky objects such as nebulas, galaxies, and sprawling star clusters, then our new DeepView 2" eyepieces should excite you. Why? Because the brightest, sharpest, most pleasing images of deep-space objects are obtained with low power and a wide field of view. And DeepView 2" 35mm and 42mm eyepieces deliver just that.
They feature anodized aluminum housings and a 3-element lens design with multi-coatings for efficient light transmission. Eye relief is a long 20mm—a welcome spec for eyeglass wearers—and the rubber eyeguards fold down out of the way if desired. Apparent fields of view for the 35mm and 42mm models are a generous 56° and 52°, respectively. Delightfully free of pincushion distortion and chromatic aberration, DeepView eyepieces will impress even the seasoned deep-sky observer. The barrels are threaded to accept 2" light-pollution and other filters.
Thanks Dave, Both EPs arrived last Wednesday or Thursday but been on shifts so haven't been able to update you. Thanks for the good packing, they arrived in great shape.
Used tonight for first time under poor viewing conditions. Still had a very impressive look at a cluster or two and she who must be obeyed was impressed by not having to remove her specs!
