I was able to see a great number of details

This 6mm eyepiece comes in handy when viewing lunar details. I thought that a 6mm eyepiece would have an unbelievably small pin hole to look through, but to my surprise, I was able to see a great number of details, considering the fact that my vision is nowhere near 20/20. I would suggest using it without a barlow lens as the magnification makes it next to impossible to locate an object with such small eyepiece. A lunar filter can also be attached to the bottom. I would recommend a set of color

Pros
  • 1.25- inch 6mm plossl eyepiece set , gives the widest viewing field along with extra sharpness and long eye relief.
Cons
  • Not compatible with certain telescope models

Very good plossl eyepiece at a good price.

Good eye relief. Clear optics. wasn't familiar with brand name ,but I am pleased with it. I use this eyepiece very regularly for moderate to low power with pretty wide field view.

Pros
  • Great wide field views. Love it for the price.
Cons
  • May distort images at the edge of the field

your maximum power on a night of good seeing is @150x

I begin with a reply to the first reviewer. It's not the eyepiece. The rule is about 30-50x (power) per inch of aperture. The largest Celestron Powerseeker refractor aperture is 80mm or just over 3". If you have the 80mm version, your maximum power on a night of good seeing is @150x. (If you have a smaller aperture version, it's even less.) Powers much larger result in fuzzy, dark images such as you describe. The scope's focal length is 900mm. Focal length of scope divided by focal length…

Pros
  • 4-element plossl design, has a approx 52 degree AFOV. Perfect for broad-field lunar observations, medium-sized star clusters, and a wide range of cloudy nebulas and deep-sky targets.
Cons
  • May produce vignetting in some telescopes
