jfox61 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well, Opticstar don't usually sell rubbish so I would hazard they will be fine. Looking at them they look very much like the WO Swann eyepieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooseholla Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You can also buy them as "rigel" eyepieces Rigel Rigel 16mm 1.25"Ultra Wide Angle EyepieceSo I suspect they are a mass produced item which anyone can brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 never used one but would suspect with your slow scope they may be OK. speak to the supplier - nice guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 So I suspect they are a mass produced item which anyone can brand.Yep - I've seen them with numerous brand names including Moonfish, Skywatcher (1 model), Rigel, 1-RPD (USA), etc, etc.They work fine at F/10 and slower. Faster than that and the edges of the FoV progressively get more distorted.You can often pick them up very cheaply on the used market but perhaps not at the present time while we are still in the "post Stargazing Live" mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
