Cheap 25mm Plossl

[Spec-Chum]

Hey all, I'm just looking for a cheap 25mm Plossl as a finder, so I'm not after superb quality or anything, just something that's a little sharper around the edges then the supplied MA 25mm for the cheapest price.

Spotted this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-eyepieces/skywatcher-sp-plossl-eyepieces.html

But can't find much info / reviews?

As mentioned, I'm not after best quality, (I'm guessing the Vixen's and the GSO's are optically better), just functionality so looking to spend the minimum I can, and these seem to fit the bill at £20.

Anyone used one?

I think the Skywatcher plossl would meet your needs, ie: be an improvement over the standard 25mm eyepiece. As you guess the Vixen NPL's and GSO's would be better again but you would need to find another £10 or so.

Looks like they could be GSO plossl's.

The 2 longer ones look very similar, just cannot get an image of them individually.

Hmm, I thought they looked similar too. Bit of a bargain if they are

Might take a punt...

Well spotted on that advert Moonshane!

Bresser is Meade, is that right? So the 3 Bresser Plossls are there would be Meade 4000 ones? Or am I barking up completely the wrong tree here...

I'd buy a GSO.
