ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
I can't clean it every 15 seconds thats insane.
I just need more eye relief so my eyelashes dont touch the lenses in the first place. with a deeper eye cup as well. that way I wont have to worry about it and its much more comfortable to view.

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
I have similar problems and I don't clean them every 15 seconds. I clean them between sessions and just put up with it during sessions. That's just me though. Your approach could well be different.realflow100 wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 8:27 pm I can't clean it every 15 seconds thats insane.

Optics are a bit of engineering science though and inexpensive, long eye relief, f4 scope? The most you can likely get out of that trio is two. All three at once is doubtful. But, hey, maybe you'll be lucky.
I'm not going to respond anymore so as to not risk developing into an argument.

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
the main reason I got such a fast scope is to get maximum brightness since I live in a fairly light polluted place!
I even have a 0.5 reducer just incase I need mega-wide views to help me find some difficult-to-find object. its easy to get lost when the magnification is great.
then I progressively step up the magnification to what I need.

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
I have all for of those eyepieces. The 6mm and 9mm have a serious blackout problem. The 6mm is no good on the moon, because of bright reflections. This is a problem even on a crescent moon. The 20mm and 15mm are good in my f8 refractor. What I love about Amazon is the return policy. They will mail or email you a return label. I advise therealflow100 wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 4:41 pm I can just return them for a refund if I find they aren't any good.
but I hope they will still be better than the stock eyepieces
I read some articles and other forums on them and they arent too bad.
my main problem really is my telescope is such a fast focal ratio that it struggles on even "good" eyepieces being F4 and 100mm aperture main issue being blurry toward the edges/coma
since most eyepieces are designed with much longer focal ratios in mind

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
I got the eyepieces and they are amazing. SOO BRIGHT and clear. great nice eye relief too.
Theres no detectableCA . edges of the image a kinda blurry but not in a bad way likely only because of my telescopes focal ratio being so fast.. the image quality is immensely better over the stock eyepieces.
I cant even imagine the image quality i'd see if I had acoma corrected telescope. it'd be sharp as a razor from center to edge.
I have also tested them with my camera lens eyepiece adapter. and the image quality is virtually perfect. zeroCA and super sharp and clear bright image.
I can get 133x magnification adding my 2x barlow to the 6mm and achieving razor sharp planetary views
blackout/vignetting or kidney beaning is not really a problem with the rubber cups extended
Also the central obstruction is much less obvious for some reason with these eyepieces. its brighter and not as dark as my other eyepieces. seems to be less noticable too.

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
If they are clones of the Orion Expanse, they should be decent for the price.
I like mine, I use them mostly at f10 but do use them in my ST80 which is f5.

Re: ordered this eyepiece kit. What should I expect over stock?
I own the 9mm Orion Expanse and love it. At one time it was my favorite eyepiece! I haven't used it as much since I bought a Televue 10mm Radian, though. I think I will do a comparison report soon!
