Question for you eyepiece experts...

[Thefatkitty]

... and I know there are many on here

I was browsing the local buy and sell (uh-oh) and came across this for $25:

Are they any good? And I could be wrong, but the coloring of the barrel and lettering suggest mid to late 80's...??

I mostly have long f/l fracs, and my KK's see more use than my ES's. Just wondering if it would be a good addition for the eyepiece case



Speaking of long f/l fracs, there's also an ad on the same site for an 80mm f/15, $60. If I didn't already have the exact same scope, I'd be be all over this, and put it together properly:

Doesn't seem to have a brand name, though it's Towa glass, and why is the sticker on the tripod leg and not the scope?

And this is mine. Hmmmm...

But I digress If anyone knows about the quality of the eyepiece, I'd love to hear it!

Many thanks and all the best,

That 25mm Plossl looks exactly like the one that came with my Celestron 6" SCT OTA, purchased in the last year or two. It works fine.

Thanks for the reply; I was way off about the year Well, for the price, I may just get it!

It is a Plössl all right and it should work like heaven in a 80mm f/15.
Great refractor, by the way.

A good Plössl, this eyepiece, and successful too: few eyepieces are as prolific as this Celestron Plössl.
