Entry: Astronomy:Equipment Reviews:Eyepiece Reviews:Apogee Zoom 7.4mm-22mm

Awesome eyepiece for the PST. Only the CEMAX and my cheap 25mm celestron kellner eyepiece matches up with this eyepiece for the PST. However, on the moon has horrible lateral color. This will show up in larger apertures I think. Not recommended for a bright moon. I suspect the success of the eyepiece towards the h-alph pst is because of light throughput. The lens design seems to be simple. On venus has horrible lateral color has well. Don't know about other planets though. I does seem sharp in the center though if you don't mind the off axis performance.

Sloppy service. Gave me no tracking code for my shipment,
and shipped it as slow as possible (didn't even appear to
be insured or confirmed delivery for such an expensive piece
of equipement). Even got my order slightly wrong (and
product was slightly defective - but that probably wasn't
their fault). However, the person on the phone was nice,
and they answered my e-mail promptly. They seem to be good
people, but I think they need to be better staffed.

Wow, a company that offered to fix my sky 90 dewshield
for free, and all I had to do was pay for
shipping costs. They even repainted the tube...
Now, I'm proud of my sky 90... :)
No complaints whatsoever...

Can't go wrong with these people. They aren't specialty astronomy people, however
(they're also into birding and probalby other stuff). So you might not be able
to find the product that you are looking for. Otherwise I've been very satisfied
with my one transaction (for a short tube 80).

Markus is a nice guy. I think he keeps the best stuff for himself however... (oh well ;)).
You also got to be careful about what you get and be sure to do your research before
you order something. Some of his eypeieces, for example, are originally made for spotting
telescope, so that the focus position will not be the same as that of most
telescope eypeieces (usually with too much infocus). I've been satisfied with his service
however.... A nice guy, just a little bit clueless, I think...
