Celestron Ultima duo eyepieces

[chris2411]

HI, I'm about to upgrade my eyepieces has anyone used these?

Very little information available about the Celestron Duo's to be honest. My best guess is that they are similar to Baader Hyperions because their design and specifications are very similar, almost identical.

I have the 5mm so far I am very pleased with it . nice eye relief and very sharp . It's a bit bigger then I expected

But causes no balance issues . Not much else to say really just waiting for the dam clouds to move, John.

I had a chance to use  a couple of these a few weeks past. The eye relief is good and the FOV useful, but I found that the sharpness of the image dropped off quite badly at the edge of the field.

That does sound a bit Hyperion-like.

Many thanks for your replies, I emailed Martin at FLO,  he suggested they might be a bit heavy to use with a dslr on a sky watcher 130p. Will probably go with the Celestro LX range instead.
