Are these any good?

[DrMike]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been given these eyepieces and was hoping some of you would advise me as to whether they are any good?

ot should I donate them to the W. I. Jumble.

thanks

Mike

Actually if you want to dispose of them in my direction please do so !!!!!!!! .... In all seriousness please keep them and use them , Mike . I'm sure others will say the same .

Yes, they're rubbish! 😁

A Televue Plossl and a Nagler. Check out FLO'S new prices.👍

They are older versions of the Televue Plossl and Nagler, but should still be excellent eyepieces. Do hold onto them!

[DrMike]

Phew! 
thanks everyone. I really appreciate the advice. 
I’ll use them asap, when the wind/ice/rain stops!

Older coatings, but still excellent lens polish.  I've read about many folks raving about the 7mm NT1 for planetary observing.  Both will have short eye relief.  Try them out and report back here on your impressions of them.

I'm sure there aren't any eyepieces with the name Televue stamped on them which are disposable, they may be older but at one time they were top of the line, I bet.

They're both good eyepieces, and keepers unless you need to wear glasses to observe, or don't like short eye relief.

The pair would I think be worth between c£100 and £150 on the used market👍.

It is not in our power to receive such gifts, but it is in our power to GIVE such gifts! 😇

If anyone wants to practice their gift-giving, just pm me 🤣

My daughter is the main recipient of my gift giving.  However, they're given with the understanding that if she doesn't want to use them anymore, they come back to me since many of the items are impossible to find nowadays.

[Mr Spock]

It is better to give than receive. So I await your gift - you will feel much better for it 😜

I’ve never used the older smoothside TV Plossls, but the current 11mm TV Plossl is pretty comfortable - no problem with eye relief at all. Presume the old 10.5mm will be similar. 

[F15Rules]

I've owned the 10.5mm and it's super sharp and very light.

I personally didn't get on with the short eye relief and flat top though.
