I'm very new to telescopes but, I think that the quality of this eyepiece is quite good. It fit perfectly and is snug in the socket. The image quality is quite sharp. I purchased it for the April 8th Eclipse and I was disappointed that Mother Nature provided high thin cloud cover. This caused all of my images to look a little out of focus or hazy. That was Mother Natures fault, I have used it to look at the moon on a clear night and I'm amazed at the detail. I'm very satisfied with the results.

This eyepiece is great. Tried it out last night, and it provides nice crisp wide-angle views. It is big but not outrageously so. Just slight larger in diameter than my E-lux 40mm that came in a Celestron accessory kit, but about an inch or so longer. For the price, a great value. The main reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it did not come with caps to protect the lenses. Seems like a cheap no-brainer to me, but what do I know. Also, before you buy this eyepiece, you should be aware of the exit pupil it provides. For example, with my 102mm refractor, it gives an exit pupil of 9.5mm. Since that is larger than the average max pupil size, there will be some light that the eye simply cannot make use of, as I understand it. I'm relatively new to this hobby, so I can only speak from my limited experience, but in practical terms with a fast f5.9 scope this didn't have too much of an adverse effect on the views for me. I thought maybe it was a little dimmer than I was used to, but that could have been partly attributed to the lower magnification, I think. Either way, I am overall happy with this purchase. Just wish they'd sent caps to cover the lenses.

I have been quite impressed with the eyepieces in this lineup. I've seen what appear to be the same eyepieces sold under several different brands, and all of them appear to be very high quality. This is the first one I've purchased through Amazon, so I thought I'd go ahead and share my impressions. Quick summary for those who don't like to read: Pros: -Sharp images with a wide field of view -Safety undercuts in barrel keep it from accidently falling out of focuser/diagonal -Lens is less recessed than others making it easier to get to when it needs cleaning -Excellent value for the price Cons: -Doesn't appear to have the best anti-reflective coatings -No rubberized grip My obvious comparison is with my set of older Meade 4000 Super Plossl eyepieces. I've put the Astromania 32mm side by side with the equivalent Meade 32mm for comparison. Using them both at night it's hard to tell much difference between them, at least to my amateur eye. The Astromania eyepiece is nice and sharp, with a nice field of view and comfortable eye relief. It has a nice heft to it and feels like it's made of quality materials. It doesn't have the grippy rubber surface on the sides the old Meade does, but then again neither does the current generation Meade 32mm eyepiece. In fact, these may be identical to the current generation Meade eyepieces. I see that Astromania has an eyepiece set with case that appears to be remarkably similar to the Meade set. The Meade does seem to have better anti-reflective coatings, perhaps as evident by the "Fully Multicoated" on the label as opposed to the "Fully Coated" label on the Astromania eyepiece. In the side-by-side shot you'll see more light reflected from the Astromania. It's obvious in the photo the Meade has a greenish sheen to it but the faint purplish sheen on the Astromania eyepiece doesn't show up. In practice though I don't notice much difference, at least in my light-polluted yard. There may be more internal reflection when looking at bright objects but if so it's not enough to bother me. One thing I liked was that the top lens was less recessed than the Meade, which seemed to make eye placement easier for me and also makes it easier to get to the lens when you need to brush dust off. Both have enough eye relief that I don't have the trouble with getting eyelash oil all over the lens like I do with some of the shorter focal length models. I've purchased quite a few of these eyepieces: 32mm (3), 25mm (3), 20mm (2), 12.5mm (6), 10mm (2), 6mm (4). Mostly they were bought as relatively inexpensive upgrades for the crummy "stock" eyepieces that came with entry-level telescopes I purchased as gifts for friend/family. In that regard these are a match made in heaven. The price is similar to the "Series 500" Plossl eyepieces I've seen sold under different brands as well, but these have noticeably wider fields of view than the Series 500 eyepieces I've tried (30mm, 15mm, and 10mm). I spend more time than probably just about anyone fooling around with small, inexpensive telescopes. I have found that most budget entry-level telescopes, even name brand ones (Celestron Powerseeker line), have decent main optics but come with low quality Huygens and Ramsden eyepieces to keep the price down. Perhaps worse, they often come with focal lengths chosen only to advertise unrealistic (and unusable) magnification powers. It's no wonder so many people buy telescopes and never use them more than once or twice. I can't stress enough what a difference it makes to have decent quality eyepieces in sensible focal lengths: one to provide 20-30x magnification, one to provide max magnification (the main lens/mirror diameter in mm times 2), and one or to two fill in the gap in between low and high. These Astromania Plossl eyepieces provide a good way to do exactly that without breaking the bank, and this is what I love about them: they're an affordable way to significantly upgrade your telescopes. Even if the scope comes with the more acceptable Kelner or Modified Achromat (MA) eyepieces (like Meade's entry-level scopes do) you'll still see a noticeable difference when upgrading to Plossl eyepieces. Best of all, if you eventually upgrade to a bigger and better telescope these eyepieces will still be useful, making them an investment in the future. All things considered I've been very pleased with every one of these eyepieces I've purchased. As an upgrade for entry-level telescopes they're an unbeatable value. I recommend them without hesitation.

Do not be afraid to buy this eyepiece because it’s cheap. I must admit that I was surprised by the quality so don’t be concerned, it’s a great eyepiece.

I bought this to get an even better look at Venus in the evening and it works well but with this much magnification the image is soon out of scope. Pair that with a 2x Barlow and you can just watch the image zoom through the field of view. I don't have an elaborate setup but with a better setup up such as an equatorial mount this thing would be even better. To give you an idea I am using a table top Dobsionian that I took off the mount and stuck on a decent tripod. Takes time to get lined up and viewing time is very limited. Works just fine for lower magnification and viewing the moon but not high magnification.
