Does anybody have any experience with either of these eyepieces there both around the same price and both seem to look like a good upgrade to what eyepieces I will receive with the SW evostar 90 achro

90mm F/10 focal length 900mm is the specs of the evostar

I've owned a few of those and used them with 4" F/10 refractors and a 5" schmidt-cassegrain. They are decent eyepieces in that type of scope and are a step up from the stock eyepieces supplied.

Thanks john! Il go for the ultra wides which are £35, I can get the whole set without breaking the bank

I think these might be the same eyepieces ?:

Ive been looking at these too. They seem to be ok by all accounts. Certainly an upgrade to the stock eps.

I have the 6mm and the 9mm and use them on my 150 f5 newt, and 150 f8 newt I've found them more than acceptable for the price

Russko13........Hi,  check here..........http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/77183-sky-watcher-ultrawide-66%C2%BA-afov-eyepieces/

You could try the BST,s They are  only 60° AFOV but have generous eye relief. Their slightly dearer at £49, but you can try the BST's and if you don't like them, you can send them back for a refund. can you do that with other retailers? 

[Russko13]

Thanks that's great if they do offer the option of sending back I will have a look as looking to purchase 1 or 2 next week

I got a "ultrawide planetary" 4mm (second type listed by the OP, about 60 deg FOV, so no true UWA) one for the kids' mini-Dobson and it is quite a nice EP for the price. It is also much more comfortable than the short Plossls for my eldest, who has glasses. The youngest also prefers the 16mm eye relief. Their design is similar to the TMB Planetaries, I think
