Quite good eyepiece
Review by L. S. on 10.06.2016 11:53:22( 5 / 5 )
I have to admit that I as a little bit comprehensive about the quality at start, but now that I have it and have looked at the Moon, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn with my 200/1200 dobsonian, I am frankly amazed by the sharpness this eyepiece delivers for the price that it has. Very good build quality too, no plastic, very sturdy feel. Don't hesitate about it, at the end of the day it's just 35 EUR!!! If I would've know how good these series were I would've purchased all of my focal lengths as this one, they even are parfocal and with 52 degrees of apparent view, not to mention that it is fully coated ... I have another 10 and 25 mm Orion Sirius Plossls. It's not that they are not good, both orion and omegon deliver good sharp image, but they orion are more expensive, have only 4 elements and don't feel as sturdy. Whereas this one has 5 elements and feels better. Simply - amazing product!
Excellent quality

I only recently started my astronomy journey. I purchased a Celestron StarSense 70mm refractor to help me get started. That telescope comes with 10mm and 25 mm eyepieces, they allowed me to view jupiter and saturn on my first night out! So i started looking for a new eyepiece between those 2 magnifications. There are alot of youtube video's out there and blogs where they say that upgrading to Plössl eyepieces is the best way to improve image quality. And I am really impressed with the quality of this eyepiece, and i can definitely see its alot better then the eyepieces that are shippped with the telescope. I might even replace the 10 and 25 mm as well.
There is one downside to Plössl eyepieces. And here i quote one of those blogs that I read.
On the downside, Plössls, especially at shorter focal lengths, suffer from short eye relief – a measure of how close to the eyepiece you have to place your eye to see the full feld of view.”
This means that if you wear glasses while stargazing, than this eyepiece might nog be for you.
