Celestron 6mm Omni Series 1.25" Plossl Eyepiece

I needed a quality built low power, wide field eyepiece for my new 9.25" Edge HD OTA that also wouldn't break the bank. This 56mm eyepiece fits what I have wanted. My eyesight isn't as good as it once was so I hope this 56mm eyepiece will make viewing the cosmos more efficient. We have had a pretty lousy late winter/early spring as far as cloud cover, wind, snow and rain showers and I haven't had any real opportunity to view through this eyepiece, What I can say is this eyepiece is much lighter than the 23mm eyepiece that came with my OTA. This eyepiece has made balancing my OTA easier.

The eyepiece I ordered arrived on time for Christmas and in good condition. Adorama carries telescope parts and accessories at a reasonable price. Recommended.

Seems to be pretty good. I have a 4 1/2" f:8. I haven't actually looked at the night sky with it, but the phone pole a half mile away comes in quite clearly. "High Voltage" sign crystal clear.

Works great. Nice sharp image. Will continue buying Celestron lenses from this company.

I love this lense! Perfect for my Celestron telescope. You can see everything in the sky!

Good quality eyepiece. Yes, the field of view is a bit tight, but good for initial alignments/adjustments.

This is a great little Barlow lens. It's easy to use with my 1.25 size eyepiece.

It did exactly what it advertised it could do. I did not like the original "finder scope (two small red dots of light) that came with my telescope. By decreasing the magnification of my eyepiece from 20 mm to 32mm I was able to ALMOST turn my entire telescope into a "finder scope". I only wish I had bought something like a 40mm which might have worked even better. But alll the 40mm I saw had a narrower field of view than ADORAMA"S 32mm.

I was given a telescope from a friend. We loved what we saw qnd wanted to see even more; bought a Barlow to double our enjoyment.

These rival the $ eyepieces. Great optics and nice eye relief.Try one, particularly if you wear glasses.

Nice heavy, well made eye piece. I use the 15mm on a 60mm f13 scope, as my planetary eyepiece. The Images are crisp, edge to edge. Also great for splitting doubles.

This was an easy and inexpensive way to modify our telescope. My 3yo loves that he can now see clear views of Jupiter and it's four moons. The site was easy to explore and the next time I look to upgrading my telescope, we'll be back.

It has a nice finish overall but the optics is less then desired. For the price meade 4000 series 40mm possl would perform better then this.

Nice accessory for a telescope. Easy to use, well built, should give many years of service.

The quality is ok for the price, but the angle of view is quite small (barely covers the moon) and with the celestron cometron telescope, I have to keep adjusting the position of the telescope which causes shake all the time. If your telescope's mount is alt-azimuth mount, then this is the problem with such a small angle of view.

I ordered a Meade laser collimator and was informed that it was on backorder. I called customer service and was able to modify the order. Adorama made the process quick and easy. I have a high level of confidence in your company. You will be my first choice for any future purchases.

Yes. Nice crisp images to the edge. I can wear my glasses with the long eye relief so I don't have to take them on and off when looking at info from my goto hand controller.

I use this eyepiece on my Celestron NexStar 6SE and it provides beautiful wide field views of stars and objects.

Great upgrade to the eyepieces provided with my telescope. Had to get a special adapter for my digital camera use but may well be worth it based on my naked eye usage so far. Bright and sharp to the eye.

I am using this eyepiece on a Celestron C70 for terrestrial viewing via the standard eyepiece adapter supplied with the C70. This gives me a bright clear image with a magnification of about 18. The feature I like best is the long eye relief because I wear glasses. This eyepiece is longer and heavier, however, than the zoom eyepiece that comes with the C70.

Great for closeup viewing of the moon.

I recently purchased this item for my Celestron NexStar 5 SE telescope and I was impressed with its construction and optical quality. It performed well even in the light polluted area of Bergen County where I reside. Also the price was right when compared to other vendors.

I like having this piece, I use it all the time, and it's easy to use.

this barlow is amazing. i haven't been into astronomy very long, but i have used a few other barlows from other companies. this barlow improves the clarity of even the most generic eyepieces. i could see saturn clearer than i have ever seen it before. will deffinatley recomend this product to anyone...

I enjoy using this eyepiece for viewing nebula, galaxies and other relatively large field objects. It produces a nice wide crisp view. It is also handy when trying to locate objects before upping the magnification.
