Product Info
Manufacturer Description
Standard eyepieces provide sharp, pinpoint star images at the center of the field but as you look out toward the edges, stars often begin to get blurred and out of focus. Eliminating this distortion usually calls for expensive optical designs with additional lens elements to eliminate the field curvature. But these new BST eyepieces use a 5 or 6 element design that offers a flat field over the entire field of view at an attractive price.
Featuring large eye lenses, wide fields of view (from 53°-65°), and generous eye relief (from 9.6mm-24.4mm), these eyepieces are a pleasure to use. Fully multicoated lenses maximize light transmission and edge blackening of all lens elements ensures excellent contrast. Other features include safety recess grooves on the 1.25" barrels, standard 1.25" filter threads, and twist-up eyecups.

Great eyepiece!
Pros: Cons: Comments:Nice build quality, love the twist up eyecup and very good optically. No internal reflections that I have seen and very crisp views. Agena’s service is excellent and they shipped very fast. I had the eyepiece within 2 business days of ordering it, and I live quite a distance away. Thanks Agena!

Pros:Accurate,Compact,Strong Construction,Easy to Use,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:I have a Tasco 11T and this eyepiece lived up to my expectations and more. This is truly my 'workhorse' mid-range piece. The eyerelief is perfect for me & easy to adjust. It provides nice clear star viewing right across the whole field (X75)and with no distortion at all. At X150 it also deliversn an excellent view of the moon & planets. Well worth the money & a pleasure to use.
