Review on Archuu Astronomical Telescope Continuous Observation by Bill Dooley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I got what I paid for.

I tried this eyepiece although there were no reviews for it. Well that was a mistake. This is pretty much the worst eyepiece I've ever personally used. Strong chromatic aberration that turned the moon into an elongated shape. The rotating barrel has a lot of play, it rotates freely a little before getting into the mechanism that regulates the membrane. It doesn't seem to affect the actual zoom function, and once it kicks in and starts adjusting the aperture, it's smooth and feels good, but the game gives it a cheap feel. If you literally can't afford anything more expensive then it's serviceable, but be prepared that whatever you're looking at will be painted blue and orange around the edges and slightly warped.

Pros
  • Zoom eyepiece is not just an eyepiece, from high magnification to low magnification, from short focal length to telescopic, easily adjustable proportions, very convenient.
Cons
  • I don't have much dislike for it, it's ok
