Good performance and value overall

This eyepiece is great. Tried it out last night, and it provides nice crisp wide-angle views. It is big but not outrageously so. Just slight larger in diameter than my E-lux 40mm that came in a Celestron accessory kit, but about an inch or so longer. For the price, a great value. The main reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it did not come with caps to protect the lenses. Seems like a cheap no-brainer to me, but what do I know. Also, before you buy this eyepiece, you should be aware of…

Pros
  • Very happy with this purchase, I use it a lot for initial alignment and for moon observation.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other brands

Excellent beginner eyepiece!

The Astromania 1.25" Plossl eyepieces are perfect for beginners, and intermediate astronomers. The are inexpensive and worth owning. I use these in astronomy outreach to show people what a 'cheap' eyepiece can do.If you are looking for your first eyepiece for your new telescope, start here.

Pros
  • Comes with sturdy plastic dust caps-protect the eyepiece from dust and moisture.
Cons
  • Not waterproof or weather-resistant

Pros
  • Fold-down rubber eyeguard Threaded for standard 1.25- inch astronomy filters.
Cons
  • Can be challenging to use in low light conditions
