Let customers speak for us
from 197 reviewsgood quality and quick shipping. Andrew was great help.
Awesome definition, great contrast and sharpness.
Easy and reliable way to buy.
Perfect and helpful customer service.
The eye piece and the collimator are awesome.
Very happy with my purchase have been waiting a while to upgrade to the 2 inch family I have been using the eyepiece to veiw through a sct 8 inch so far have not been disappointed crisp clear images
A well built eyepiece of good quality good bang for your buck
I found a receipt yesterday from astronz dated 2004 in which I purchased a laser colminator which still works perfectly
Astronz still delivering excellent products at very competitive prices
Great product well made excellent optics value for money spent astronz excellent service and advice highly recommended
Great telescope and awesome service from Andrew over the holiday period - highly recommend
I'm happy with this product. Good price, good quality, and does the job required.
The 50mm SuperView (Erfle) eyepiece in a long focal length telescope gives a big, wide view of the sky that shorter eyepieces can't do. Coupled with an 8 inch f/12 Cassegrain, it gives a 1.2° field of view. The entire Moon fits easily in the view, as does most of the Pleiades/Matariki and the Orion Nebula.
For contrast, a 32mm Plossl has only about 0.5° field of view in the same telescope.
It's very easy and comfortable to look through, with plenty of eye relief even wearing glasses. Some eyepieces can be really particular with where you need to place your eye, but this isn't one of them.
If I had to pick a fault for it, it's a little lacking in contrast, but considering the price, it's extremely minor.
TL/DR: If you have a long focal length telescope, you should have one of these, and for $140, you don't have an excuse not to.
Weather and work mean I haven't yet had a chance to try out the coma corrector under the stars, but based in my short experiments with viewing tree branches about 150 m distant from my telescope, it looks like this coma corrector is doing a good job at bringing the entire field of view into focus. This is with a 10" F4.7 Newtonian, and with a full frame (35 x 24 mm) camera. Note that this corrector is a rebranded GSO come corrector (I don't think AstroNZ will mind me saying that), and so it does need 70-80mm back focus (so you'll likely need 20 to 30 mm M48 extension rings depending on what you're doing), and despite what the website says, it does also lengthen the scope focal length by a factor of ~ 1.1, so you lose a bit of field of view, but not much.
All in all for the price, I think this is pretty good value, and a great place to start you want to sharpen the stars across the field of view.
I haven't had a chance to try it yet, as it's a present for my son for Christmas, but Andrew was super helpful when buying!
I was purchasing a weight for my ioptron tracker when I saw this tripod and I decided to purchase it as well to give my tracker its own dedicated tripod.being that this one was designed for my to be used on it it was a no brained. I have only used it once so far but it is wonderful and was easy to fit my tracker to. Very satisfied customer
Rechargeable is great. Handy size for pocket, and exceptional pointing in daylight conditions up to 60 odd meters.
