e-Scopes Kellner 27mm

This eyepiece is really a mixed bag. Mechanically it's okay, color correction is good, and edge correction I'd say is amazing for the price: even at f/4.5 it shows only a trace of softness. The field of view is much wider than advertised--more like 50 degrees than 40--and it's threaded for filters. BUT the coatings are so bad that if you point it at anything bright you'll think you've crashed Casper's family reunion: ghosts everywhere! Sure, Jupiter has four moons, but to look through this you'd think Earth did, too. Works for the Milky Way, but....

Last entry: To do so would be a very common mistake: Every eyepiece design has a specific focal length range at which it performs best. The PANOPTIC optimum f.l. is 19 - 22 mm, NAGLER 7 - 9 mm. People buying whole sets of the same eyepiece design don't take advantage of this opportunity. After many comparisons and careful testing I settled with a 22mm-PANOPTIC, a 9mm-NAGLER, a 5mm-RADIAN, a 4mm-TAK-HE and a 2.8mm-TAK-HE.
