Baader 1.25" Classic Orthoscopic Eyepiece - 18mm # BCO-18 2954118
5.0
Amazing Eyepiece!
The Baader Classic Ortho eyepieces, better known as BCOs, are the new version of the legendary Baader Genuine Ortho. They come with the superb Baader's HT MultiCoatings, a wide (for an ortho it means wide indeed) field of 52º and an unbelievabl...

Good eyepiece, like the convenience.
Good eyepiece, like the convenience. Get some chromatic aberration at the edges, thick ring of fire. Contrast is lacking. Mechanism is fine.

Agena 1.25
Agena 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece with Focusable Crosshair - 12.5mm
3.0
Good Value for Very Basic Use
OK. First, it must be said that the one I received is not an Agena logoed product. Mine is labeled Starguider(R). Agena's own is probably better built, and costs about 3 times as much. I'm not giving it 5 stars, or even 4 because of the lo...
Vixen 1.25
Vixen 1.25" LV Zoom Eyepiece 8-24mm # 3777
5.0
Cost less than the best, but performs!
Want a zoom that doesn’t break the bank, but performs like the top of the line zooms? This is it. Great eye relief and no crazy reflections like the cheapie zooms.

Meade 1.25
Meade 1.25" Wireless Illuminated Reticle Astrometric Eyepiece - MA 12mm # 07069
5.0
High Quality For Astrometrics
Solid piece of kit for the advanced user. Excellent instructions for a variety of apps. Note that the dual crosshairs are off-center for guiding use; not for polar alignment. Illumination is very adjustable. A fine astrometric instrument.

Agena 1.25" Starguider Dual ED Eyepiece - 15mm

Big improvement over Plossl eyepiece
The 15mm wide angle ED eyepiece made a huge improvement in the usability of my 6" Orion Dob. No longer do I have to keep my eye in exactly the right position -- as was the case with the 10mm Plossl eyepiece -- to be able to see anything in the s...

Great upgrade from the basic eyepieces provided with Nexstar 6SE
I'm new to this hobby, although have been an avid reader of Sky & Telescope for years. Acquired a Nexstar 6SE and with several entry level eyepieces, and wanted to see if an upgrade would provide any material/observable benefits. Acquired ...

Beautiful, crisp images with tremendous AFOV
For the (comparatively) low price of this eyepiece, I was moderating my expectations. I'm happy to say that it looks great. The images are sharp and bright all over the field. I see no obvious distortion either. The end of the eyepiece is a lit...
Vixen 1.25
Vixen 1.25" SLV Lanthanum Eyepiece - 4mm # 37203
5.0
Beautiful, high-magnification images
The view presented by this thing is simply fantastic. Super crisp, edge-to-edge. Zero color problems. The 50 deg AFOV is pretty tight, so you are going to need to be pretty locked on to your target before switching to this eyepiece.
