Sorry I'm not familiar with magnaloux I'm sure someone on here will be tho, however the fact that this is the second listing for the item might be a clue.

[Phillithevicar]

Yes, got me thinking "if it seems to good to be true....."

[Schorhr]

Not bad for the price considering there's a T2 Adapter and the filter, plus it's cheaper then (new) noname Plössl all together.

The 20 is a Huygens though it seems.

Then again, a 30gbp will buy you a wide-angle eyepiece :-) Really depends on if you need all the other stuff or not, also on ebay you can get the other stuff cheap too once in a while.

I wouldn't touch it, the focal length of the ep's are too close, you would not use a 25mm and a 30mm plossl. Stay away I'd say.

[Schorhr]

Very true, I haven't even thought about that.

I'll echo Robin. You can pick up SW/Celestron/GSO Plossls for £12-15 on UKAstrobuysell and the classifieds on this very forum. These are solid performing little EPs for the money and they only go for £20-25 new.
