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.

Nice eyepiece!
Pros: Cons: Comments:I got this eyepiece for the wider view and it’s stury construction. Gives great views. A bit of curvature with my f6.7 refractor, but tolerable. Agena’s service is great!

May 30, 2013SHARP AND SOLID!
Pros:Quality Lenses,Strong Construction,Easy to Use,Accurate
Cons: Comments:This eyepiece lives up to every claim in the Agena description. Sharp, crisp, bright and contrasty images edge-to=edge. Build quality, fit and finish are exemplary. A near perfect eyepiece for viewing open clusters. M44 never looked better.
