This plossl gives excellent moderate power views and is pinpoint accurate! The optics and well coated and it gives brighter views than most other plossls Ive tried. In my opinion they are slightly better than the Meade 4000 Plossls. The TVs fit and finish is exceptional... all in all a great eyepiece.
This plossl gives excellent detail and pinpoint accuracy on Planets and Nebulas. Its optics are well coated and it appears to give brighter views than most other plossls Ive tried. My only reservation is the usable eye relief... but most EPs at this price and focal length have the same issue. If you need more eye relief and dont mind spending a little more, I recommend the Celestron Vixen Lanthanums.
Ive used this barlow for a few months now and I can honestly state that it was a purchase well made. The fit and finish of this barlow is exceptional and its optics complement every EP Ive used with it. It even appears to be parfocal with most TeleVue Plossls. It has become a usefull addition to my collection and is used more often than not. Highly recommended...
