Apogee 8mm Plossl
Very pleased. Works very well on planets in my F6 Mak-Newt or my F11 refractor. Very sharp and bright with lots of contrast and images are cool and not coffee toned like some of my other plossls. I like it as much or better than my 7mm UO HD. Has only a very tiny bit of lateral color - not much at all. Eye relief is tight, but what do you expect for an 8mm plossl? Also, my filters don't fit on it. Give this eyepiece a try, for only 19.95 + shipping, you won't go wrong.
