The quality of the image is great thru the whole magnification range of the eyepiece.įor a grab & go type 'scope this could be the only eyepiece you need to use if you're trying to limit the amount of equipment you're carrying. One of the nights included a shadow transit of one of the moons of Jupiter which I watched without even barlowing up for higher magnification.įrom 24mm to about 16mm the fov is a little narrow but I can't complain about the quality of the image. I remember starting to pack up my gear when I realized I hadn't used any other eyepieces.

The 1st night I used it I forgot about changing it out for any of my single focal length eyepieces.

What ended up happening was this, it was the only eyepiece I used for the couple of hours I had in the evening (for 2 different nights). I used this eyepiece earlier in the year when Jupiter was visible in the evening. I live where I don't have many clear nights to observe and even fewer when I have to get up early to work. Quality Lenses,Easy to Use,Strong Construction Cons: Although it seems a bit long the eye relief.I like it and thught it comfortable to view.Also I thing it is a good fit for people who have to wear glasses when viewing through a telescope.They have astigmatism).another thing I viewed the m22 cluster and got all of the center in my view at medium powers stars were sharp,also al I zoomed the zooming was smooth and I the focusing at all point were parfocal).Nice.This does have a smaller field but it has more magnification and will challeng the limit of my my scope.This is an exelllent value for the money!! Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item?

the eyerelief is strong amount ,1/2inch and at 7 mm about a 1/4 of an inch from the rubber guard (This is for my vision I wear glasses). Saturday I viewed Saturn it was low in the sky 16 arc seconds small.I used my 6 inch f/15 mak cass.Saturn was low in the sky I could see the casssini division at its edge and some bands were seen the sharpness of the image was very good just a little below my favorite zoom the lit vix.That eyepiece cost more than 4 times more than this eyepiece.Whwn at low power 22 mm. Receive my eyepiece promptly as estimateded.It come with as silver ring with a small setscrew straight to accurantle position the zoom value.You just need small screwdriver to adjust it.My eyepiece was a little off.
