Lomo 17.6mm Bertele Eyepiece

[azrabella]

Do any of you guys know of this eyepiece? It is, I think, a Russian microscope eyepiece with a 1.25" barrel. Suitable for use as a telescope ocular? Barrel marked 14x. Has anyone used a microscope eyepiece on the sky before?

Hi Azrabella, I have this ep- had high hopes for it but it didn’t really do anything that a similar fl plossl couldnt do other than colouring the image with a yellowish cast. I may give it another go but I haven’t used it in a while...

I have a pair that came with my Lomo MBS-10 stereo microscope, and they seem decent in it.  I've never thought to try them in my telescopes, though.
