Astronomica Eyepieces

[JDWolf]

I am looking at getting a new eyepiece soon and have come across these :

http://www.astronomica.co.uk/SuperPlossl.php

Ideally i am after a 5 mm and cant really afford more tha £40, so these for £20 seem a really good deal if they are ok.

Anyone every used / owned one of these?

I've never used them but i know you can get the celestron plossls for a tenner off ebay. I have the 32mm from this guy and had no problems. It's a great eyepiece.

I'll second what Gorden said.

I've had three Celestron eyepieces from that guy

and would rate them as a bargain. His service is good too

I think they might be a little too cheap. I think i might have to see if there are any 5 mm eyepieces on the ebay from this guy near may b.day

Hi

If you feel Astronomica eyepieces are too cheap, we could always put the price up

I can assure you they are excellent quality we have sold dozens of each focal length and 2x and 3x Barlows too and never yet had a single one returned! At the SPA convention we sold one of our 40mm plossls to Jon Shanklin for the cooke refractor they have at Cambridge. He made a very positive comment about it compared to the Meade of the same focal length they have!

Very best wishes

I've got the 32mm eyepiece (paid £12 though..... :)) its a cracking eyepiece for the money and gets a lot of use.
