TS-SWM Wide Angle Eyepieces

[Tribal-Wolf]

Anyone tried them, are they any good?

[Tribal-Wolf]

So I guess these are no good then?

Ether that or they are brilliant but nobody is prepare to "spill the beans"

If you mean these:

TS Ultra Wide Angle 6mm - 1,25' Okular - 66° - bessere Vergütung

They are the same as the Skywatcher Ultra Wides (the 66 degree FoV ones) but have slightly better coatings. The 9mm is the best followed by the 6mm. The 15mm and 20mm are OK in slow scopes, eg: F/8 or slower but show lots of edge distortion in faster focal ratios. The 9mm seems to have a wider FoV than the spec says.

Looks like they are these:

Telescope Accessories-Astronomical Telescope-Biological Microscope,Astronomical Telescope,Magnifier Lamp

Right hand side second row down.

Don't say what the construction is, elements and groups, suspect 5 elements in 3 groups, fairly standard.

Barride make reasonable items. One of the UK retailers imports some of their items. Guess if you searched all the UK retailers that these would turn up on one.

Some of their other eyepieces look good, 70 and 82 degree ones.
