Now the go-to E.P. in that range
Pros:Easy to Use,Accurate
Cons: Comments:I purchased the 4.5mm HD-60 from the Clearance and Specials section and it's a great E.P.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
As much as I use it I'd pay the extra $10 and get this one.
Originally purchased to complement a 6mm Polossl but this one is so much better that this is now the go-to E.P. at that end of the set.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com

Mar 4, 2013Excellent eyepiece, but...
Pros:Strong Construction,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:The optical quality of this eyepiece is excellent, as is the build quality. I particularly like the design of the twist up eye cup. But, this eyepiece isn't for every scope.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? Yes
In my f/5 Newtonian, the views were uninspiring. But, in my 5" f/7.5 APO Triplet, the views of Jupiter and Saturn are nothing short of stunning! If you have a fast scope, consider a different focal length Series 5000 eyepiece.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Feb 8, 2013Meade Eyepiece
Pros:Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:This eyepiece was fair but didn't give me the image quality that I was looking for in my 5" refractor.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? No
But there are a lot of variables to consider when you are looking for an eyepiece that matches well with your particular telescope. And this eyepiece could very well perform diffently with another kind of telescope.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
