Default Adler Optiks SWA Eyepieces - 24th January 2008, 10:23 PM

:saturn:
Hello,

Just wondering if anyone else on here has purchased one of these?

I ordered a 20MM 70 degree from Scopes & Skies on Tuesday, having called them to check in stock first - I know they have had a bit of a reputation in the past for slow delivery often due to lack of stock, and credit to them it arrived today just in time for the clearest skies for quite a while!

Their own blurb on the site claims these are made in the same factory and are the same as the Williams Optics Swan series, but I only paid a penny under £30 with delivery.

I was very impressed with it's performance tonight, especially observing M42 and M31, on my 8" Skyliner - and was wondering if the claims it is identical to the WO Swan are correct, having not had any experience with these.

I take it I am the only person on here who has purchased one of these, then!

Anyway, it seems a fine eyepiece for what I paid and it is already becoming just about my favourite, giving 60x on my 'scope with 70 degree FOV (also great with my Tal 2x Barlow).

Chris

Sounds like you're the guinea pig Chris, maybe review time.

BTW what's an eyepiece again?

Well KK, I may indeed post a review once I have had a bit more time with the E/P on a wider variety of objects - funnily enough, the weather still does not appear to be playing ball at the moment and yes, we may need a reminder of what our equipment is for soon!

Chris
