Celestron 93430 Luminos 7mm Eyepiece (Silver/Black)

By the kindness of my wife, I was given a Celestron 76-3 Newtonian Telescope which came with two Celestron Plossl Eyepieces, size 10 and size 12. About 20mm thick. A few weeks after that, I got my hands on a 150mm Newtonian Telescope with a 25mm Kellner eyepiece, which I immediately fell in love with. The most remarkable life changing moment of my life A LUMINOS 10mm EyePiece was given to me by my brother and I've since become addicted. Using these EyePieces will provide you with a truly wide field of view along with a greatly improved brightness. They are both 700mm and 750mm, so very similar, but the diameters are very different, I bought a Double F10 and a Double F5 and both made me see the sky in a whole new way! It might be true that some people complain about the Luminos being affected by Edge Of Field Brightness, but I didn't observe it while I was in a blue light-polluted area.
I would say that it is a professional flaw these Eye Pieces are about bringing a radiance to your eye, and that is what they achieve. I am in a darker area, I don't see any Bright Ring around my Focal View and the views are spectacular, the sky is so easy to see as if it were right above It brings to life the Luminescence of the sky with the LUMINOS eyepieces, as they are named after the phenomenon Watch the Moon with caution if you don't want your eyes to be hurt. It may be necessary for you to wear sunglasses. **brace yourself**. It should be noted that I am not equipped with an electronic mount, so I need to remount manually In the past, I had to do it every few seconds with other eye pieces, but with these LUMINOS, it only takes a couple of minutes for me to see without having to switch. I think that's quite a nice feature. It is easy to adjust the EyeCups because they are adjustable Make sure the head is in the right position after each repetition A comfortable feature of this adjustment is that it can be adjusted. *BURN A LITTLE RED The EyePieces are heavy, or at least they are very heavy, so you will either need to adjust the Dovetail to compensate, or maybe you will have to put other CounterWeights, especially if you have a Barlow as well. In that case, I used a 2X Barlow Lens to correct the problem. * * * And man too! When you arrive at that point, you could as well be walking on the moon. Expect a below-average view, but don't expect to see the same level of detail that you would get from a Pentax or The price ranges of these two products are completely different. The main advantage I see for the Mid Price Range is that it's the best you can get. If you want a case for them, make sure you buy a good one, they only come with a foam box that doesn't hold them very tight, so you will need a proper case for them. As you can see in the picture, I bought a case where I could safely put them together (see picture).

I hope this has been of use to you.

The 15mm of this eye piece is ideal for those who would like to view large swaths of the night sky at once. Why is that beneficial? br>br>When you are to just explore the universe, feel as if you are floating with the stars, and see what sort of things you can find, then that is the type of eyepiece you need. When you already know the target you want to observe, for example Jupiter, you want more power so that the storm clouds and the moons will keep up with you. It may not be the right eye piece for you. My 7 to 12mm telescope allows me to see details of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn close up. When I want to lose myself in the night sky, I use the 15mm lens. What's the benefit of star gazing with a 15mm eyepiece just to get lost in the night sky? As you catch a satellite streaking across your view, the surprise sets in. If you look up in the sky and accidentally run into the Andromeda galaxy for the first time, you might get the lump in your throat.

So between 7mm and 12mm when you know where you are going and.

The Celestron Luminos series eyepieces are both very heavy and moderately expensive, as noted in the other reviews. They are, however, a worthy purchase. I have the 25 inch barrels) with an 82 degree field of view for my 9x19mm. With these gems, there is no comparison between the stock eyepieces that came with the telescope and those that were bought separately. I advise beginners before breaking the bank until they are certain they love the hobby, but I would get at least one lens at some point to give it a try. In all three lenses, I purchased, I received true fields of view of 0, 157X, 235X, and 336X respectively. The numbers 5 and 0 are the same. A 35-point ratio and a It's 24 degrees in the afternoon For nights where the visibility is close to perfect, I find that my 7mm lens provides good performance. With the exception of the 23 mm and 31 mm eyepieces, I still hold the same opinion about each. The only complaint I have is that they have imperfections in focusing across size ranges for barrels.
