Meade Super Wide Angle 24.5mm

I love this eyepiece.

Reasonably priced, excellent contrast and brightness. Field correction is good, but not great at f:4.8. Not as bad the 24.7 mm Speers Waller, by the way. Highly recommended.

Meade Super Wide Angle 24.5mm

I bought this eyepiece for my fast (f/ 4.5)Dobs 8â€ and 10â€ (Japanese version). It has an acceptable eye relief, good contrast, and no color distortion. The image is good to 60% of the field, after that it shows large amount of coma, and the edge shows images out of focus respect to the center. The eyepiece has very nice wide field, but is not usable unless you barlow it or you have a slow scope. So, for a little bit more money there are better wide field eyepieces out in the market. Maybe the new series 5000 has already corrected these problems.
