Hello,

Can you tell me where you were able to purchase this ep? I am having trouble finding it!

Thanks!

>This eyepiece is a bargain for a 24mm Nagler type UWA. It works great in all three (120mm f5 , 150mm f8 refractor,XT10) of my scopes. This is the first eyepiece I use when I pull out my XT10 (10in f5 DOB) and it does not have any blackouts (kidney-beaning) like many UWA eyepieces in this FL range.
> It works very well in the daylight with my scopes and makes a great low light spotting scope with the Orion 120ST OTA on a Bogen 3040 tripod.

Amazing eyepiece. Huge FOV and excellent on-axis performance, with a small amount of softness near the edges. With my F/5 telescope I mainly use it for star-hopping and viewing large clusters and nebulae. A tad on the heavy side, but not an issue in my 12" dob with the counterweights on.
Great eyepiece!!!!!

Amazing eyepiece for using as a finder. The coatings are not that great, and the eye relief is extremely tight. Great EP when you put a 2 inch barlow on it, and the field of view is massive!!!
I would rate this at about a 6/10 for comfort and a 10/10 for field size.
I ended up selling mine and am going to try a 30mm 2" GSO instead.

eye relief...............................................................3/10
optics @ f/5...........................................................5/10
used as a finder.....................................................10/10
barlowed...............................................................10/10
coatings................................................................2/10
