SVBONY Telescope Eyepiece, 68 Degree Ultra Wide Angle Eyepiece 6mm, High Definition Fully Coated Telescope Accessories for Planetary Observation

SVBONY has a reputation for selling quality items at great prices, and this eyepiece is no exception. It offers an ultra-wide FOV with minimal image distortion along the edges. The eyepiece itself is rugged and attractive, easy to see in the dark. Overall I’m very pleased with its performance and will remain a SVBONY customer for years to come.

This is a great sharp, clear, wide-field eyepiece lens at a reasonable price.I bought this 15mm eyepiece as an intermediate between the stock 10mm and 20mm eyepieces that came with my telescope. I chose the SVBONY eyepiece because it was reasonably priced and advertised a wider field of view. When I first got it, I noticed right away that the lens in this eyepiece was actually slightly larger than the lens in the 20mm eyepiece that came with my telescope.When I first tested this 15mm eyepiece in my scope, I was amazed at the bright, wide field images it delivered - sharp all the way out to the edges. Using my 1000mm focal length scope, it yielded 67X, which gave awesome bright, sharp, wide-field images of the moon! Coupling this eyepiece with my 3X Barlow lens yielded really nice wide-field, high-power images as well.I am really impressed with this product - Five plus stars!

The media could not be loaded. (Update and update below) clear skies, looking through alot of atmosphere though... Got some nice views of Saturn at 3-5am. Used a 6" virtuoso gti 150p in manual mode. I have a DiY light shroud because of my typical light pollution around bortle 7ish. Lots of stray lights. Anyways, amazing views before dawn and after. Saturn was tack sharp and I saw a dark line next to the ring. Saw what I belive was titan leading saturn until I couldn't anymore because of the sun coming up.I used all listed eyepieces and a 2x svbony barlow. The 20mm and 15mm are nice, hard to show via photos. Not much to complain about except what I mentioned down below. 9mm was used least. Good views and comfortable to look through, all of them. Even the 6mm with x2 Barlow.I bought the 4 set ( 6mm 9mm 15mm 20mm) during flash sale for 39% off coming to just under $99 for these.First impressions were amazing. Great feel and presentation. The metal frame and rubber felt really good, even the package for each eyepiece. Nice eye relief and eye cups. Three of them had a loose bottom red ring though. So I tightened them.As I looked through the eye pieces I was quite happy until I got to the 20mm. There was a spec in the corner, almost out of view until you look there, then it's quite large.I took the bottom of the eyepiece off and I can barely see the spec on the inside of the lense. Blowing air doesn't remove it and I'm not going to risk damaging the rest of it. Already got dust inside. Oh well. I'd be more annoyed if I didn't get these things at 39% off.Other than that issue with the 20mm I really want to like these. I'll update when I get some clear weather. (Update) I like them. I got em on sale and they're totally worth it.Get em on Ali or on their website. Way cheaper.. Seriously..

After examining and testing Meade, Celestron and SVBONY, in my opinion SVBONY ishands up better than the other two eyepiece providers. My ranking is SVBONY, Meade and Celestron, in that order. I did not examine Orion eyepieces. This is based on their 6mm, 9mm and 20mm eyepieces.Of course SVBONY eyepieces can not be expected to match the higher priced, better quality eyepieces made for Meade, Orion, Celestron or Tele Vue but they are a good bang for the buck.I would rate SVBONY eyepieces a 5 for the under $40 market and a 3 overall when compared to the quality ones.The best feature of the SVBONY wide angle eyepieces is their great POV; however, acaveat comes with this and that is you need to have the object you are viewing centered in the eyepiece.Here are Pros and Cons of the SVBONY wide angle eyepieces:Pros - great field of vision and if you have the object centered in the scope good clarity- appears well constructed- reasonable price for what it is supposed to offer- good value for the moneyCons - very heavy. If you add a heavy barlow lens in all likelihood you might not be ableto mount a cell phone or camera to the scope- chromatic aberration and comas if the object is off to the side of center in thescope

This has become my new favorite eyepiece due to its clarity and versatility. With a 2x Barlow it gives good magnification for planetary viewing/imaging in my 8" Dob, or by itself it has a nice wide view through my 102mm refractor. Views are crisp, though there is some distortion near the edges of the FOV (not horrible compared to other wide view eyepieces I've looked through). Of course, an eyepiece from a more well-known brand that costs 4-10x more is going to give you clearer/crisper views, but unless you just have money to throw around you're not going to be disappointed with the Svbony.Attached photos are taken with my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) through this eyepiece. Saturn was a video through my Dobsonian processed with PIPP/Autostakkert.
