Budget Ethos? Guinea Pigs Wanted!

Anyone want to take one for the team and try this out...

BST 100 degree 9mm 2 inch Ultra Wide Angle Telescope Eyepiece | eBay

I had the 16mm version of this eyepiece for a while (under different badging). I found it to be a respectable but not outstanding piece of kit in an f8 refractor - good definition out to 80 per cent of field, then showing increasing image flare, but I wouldn't recommend it as an option below f6.

I also found that 100 degrees was not my cup of tea due to the amount of the field that can only be seen by eye movement. I appreciate that this may not match everyone else's point of view but I am happier at 80 -84 degrees.

Thanks for the feedback coulthamst. Really only suitable for slow slow scopes then.

There is a review of one of these in this or last months sky at night magazine.

It seems this one 'sounds like a Golf'.
