Antares Plossl 7.5mm
I was somewhat disappointed with this one. The eyerelief is very short and the field seemed smaller than advertised. I bought it just to use with my 3X barlow on those exceptional nights when I can use the highest magnifications. With my 10" dob it provides about 500x, the maximum useable with a high quality optics. Unfortunately the scope must be repositioned every few seconds with this one! Best to use it with a clock drive on your telescope.
