What is Reddit's opinion of Telescope Eyepiece Kit for Beginners,Astronomy Telescope Lens Eyepiece Plossl 32mm with 1.25" Filter Thread for 1.25 inches Astronomic Telescope?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Whew, this took longer than I had anticipated :-)

Debatable :-) Many offers you find locally are also just rebranded version of the exact same eyepiece (e.g. Orion Expanse, Skywatcher UWA...). Surely there are differences in customer support and (maybe) quality-control, but "taking a risk" in getting a $17 eyepiece is minimal, and if it's a lemon, you'll typically just get a refund.

Ideally get the 66° or 68° eyepieces with the golden ring. Though there are now fakes (that look similar but are Plössl, or the bad 62° eyepieces).

Short Plössl have poor eye-relief.

Before the Covid-crisis you could get 10mm Plössl for $6 or so via eBay, now it's all a bit more expensive (but still OK).

 

• 32mm Plössl 52° (40mm just has a narrower afov, 1.25" limits the max. tfov)

  • Aliexpress
  • eBay
  • Amazon Marketplace 2
  • Amazon (40mm is cheaper currently, but not ideal)

• 9mm/10mm Plössl

  • eBay
  • Aliexpress (Not the shorter focal-lengths)
  • Amazon Marketplace
  • Amazon
  • Amazon

• 6mm "gold-line" wide-angle, long eye-relief

  • Aliexpress
  • eBay (some US sellers for $22-$25)
  • Amazon 2 (Before COVID-19 you could get it for $23-$26 directly from Amazon / Prime, now it's a bit more expensive)

• 30/40mm 2-inch wide-angle eyepiece

  • 32mm
  • 40mm (not recommended for F/5!)
  • GSO 30mm
  • Same thing, fewer listings, slightly higher prices atm. Do note Erfle won't be sharp across the whole field at F/5, and coma is also visible in the outer field. But of course they work. For F/5 you ideally need overview eyepieces like the Explore-Scientific 82° 30mm ~$350
