SVBONY Telescope Eyepiece Fully Mutil Coated 1.25" Telescope Accessories Set 66 Degree Ultra Wide Angle HD 6mm for Astronomy Telescope

Best Low End Eyepieces on the Market (Under $40) After examining and testing Meade, Celestron and SVBONY, in my opinion SVBONY is hands up better than the other two eyepiece providers. My ranking is SVBONY, Meade and Celestron, in that order. I did not examine Orion eyepieces. This is based on their 6mm, 9mm and 20mm eyepieces. Of course SVBONY eyepieces can not be expected to match the higher priced, better quality eyepieces made for Meade, Orion, Celestron or Tele Vue but they are a good bang for the buck. I would rate SVBONY eyepieces a 5 for the under $40 market and a 3 overall when compared to the quality ones. The best feature of the SVBONY wide angle eyepieces is their great POV; however, a caveat comes with this and that is you need to have the object you are viewing centered in the eyepiece. Here are Pros and Cons of the SVBONY wide angle eyepieces: Pros - great field of vision and if you have the object centered in the scope good clarity - appears well constructed - reasonable price for what it is supposed to offer - good value for the money Cons - very heavy. If you add a heavy barlow lens in all likelihood you might not be able to mount a cell phone or camera to the scope - chromatic aberration and comas if the object is off to the side of center in the scope

Good one

My husband was pleased with this. It did what it said and was better than the eyepieces that came with his telescope although for really big detail with tge planets you would need more powerful . As new telescope fans we found it great for viewing the planets. Not expensive compared to some others.

I have some kellner and plossl eyepieces. I also have Barlows 2x and 3x. And now I have this amazing eyepiece. What you read from some critics about the characteristics of lenses and Barlows, will too often confuse you and often will lead you astray from buying a great piece of equipment that you probably would thoroughly enjoy if had not decided to forego the purchase based on their opinions. I truly believe that some critics opinions are simply parroting what others have said for fear of reprisal, and they have never really tried the product themselves. For example, I have found that the 3x Meade Barlow has become my most often used attachment. It is superb and I don't even use my Orion shorty 2x anymore. The so-called loss of light compared to a 2x is nonexistent and not worth talking about when you are using it out in the field. Also, I see no difference in my Plossl vs. Kellner. Yes, the eye relief for the plossl is closer to the eyepiece but it works so much better when I attach that lens to my android cell phone camera. I can just set the lens right on the camera lens with the holding carriage (the optical lenses on both are recessed and won't get scratched) . You don't need to adjust the lens position away from the camera due to a longer exit pupil found with a non plossl. Now lets talk about this Ultraview lens. You would almost think that something has to give if you are using an eyepiece that is going to give you good eye relief with wide viewing at only 6mm! I bought it for the sole purpose of finding out what have they given up to achieve all of this. They have given up nothing. This lens has an amazing wide view, good eye relief with quality clarity that even excelled the same power with any other combinations or single lens that I have. The lens is a longer device even longer than my 3x Meade Barlow. The only negative about this lens is that it will take almost one month coming from China before you have it in your hot little hands. Your patience will be rewarded. This lens will make some of my other combinations go onto the shelf. As I use it more, I will find out what new combinations will work best and quicker in the field.

I read the reviews and the videos and this is a case of "you get what you pay for". Experienced observers with unlimited cash will not be impressed with the views from this eyepiece , they dont hold a candle(standard candle joke goes here) to a Tele Vue eyepiece or other revered high end eyepieces. That being said, for the newbies and for the many many people that are buying mid sized dobsonians, this is a great deal that wont break the bank. On clear nights you will get some nice views through this budget eyepiece. If you decide night sky observing isnt your thing , then you havent blown 100's of dollars on an eyepiece that you now have to try and sell second hand.
