It was worth the price, but don't expect ccd performance
Having read the reviews of others prior to purchasing my electronic eyepiece, I did not expect too much from it.But for the price I paid, I would buy it again.My main dislike is the apparent focal length.It is the equivalent of about a 4mm lens.I live in a major metropolitan area with lots of haze and light pollution, a 4mm optical lens is of questionable value.The electronics makes it worst.I can see earth's moon pretty well, but only the brightest two of Jupiter's four visible moons.Forget about seeing dim stars or deep space objects.
Excellent product with alot of potential
I bought this product on sale for $39.00 at a local camera store after reading the reviews on this page. This was after I also bought an Orion Electronic eyepiece the week before. One thing that makes this eyepiece infinetly better than the Orion eyepiece is the fact that it is threaded for filters (or stacking of multiple filters) whereas the Orion eyepiece is not. Using it on my 6" reflector, I first tried it with a white light solar filter. The view was crisp as I expected on both the Meade and the Orion eyepiece. The Meade eyepiece is alittle larger than the Orion eyepiece (4mm vs. Orion's 3.8mm) but it is not really too noticeable. Viewing the moon at gibbous phase and the contrast tweaked, the view was also crisp and defined in both eyepieces. I finally tried it on Jupiter. Here is where the difference between the Orion eyepiece and the Meade eyepiece was most pronounced. Because the Orion eyepiece is not threaded, Jupiter came out completely whitewashed, even when the contrast was completely tweaked. Because the Meade eyepiece is able to be used with a filter, I placed a Baader's Planetary Contrast Booster on it. The 2 cloud belts at the equator were visible on my 20" TV as a monitor. Also visible were the 4 moons at the same setting. When used with a video card tied in to a pc, a person can frame-grab and have their own "poor man's" version of a CCD picture. Using this method, suprisingly good pictures that rival much higher priced CCD's may be achieved.This eyepiece in my opinion is well worth the price (even if you don't get it on sale) and has alot of potential when used with a video card. Just remeber to buy some extension cords and adapters for the RCA cables.

great addition to any telescope
This eyepiece is quite nice. I tried it out and was amazed at the results. I use it on a six inch reflecting telescope. I used it first on the best target in the night sky, the Moon. It looked as though I was looking through a window on an apollo capsule orbiting the moon. I am not kidding. It was great. I then moved over to Saturn. I could clearly see the rings and bands of clouds. This item is worth the cost! ... Read more

.
i own Celestron Firstscope 114EQ 114mm Reflector Telescope (227.5x-max) and i also have Celestron 94304 Nine-Piece Accessory Kit and i had to buy this eyepiece to complete everything for the space exploration..unlike x-cel series this onmi series 4mm eyepiece is moon filter compatible and it gives 225x of magnification which is far enough to see the details on the moon...

Good Eyepiece, but can't use filters
Close inspection of the threads on the eyepiece revealed no damage, however non of my filters (orion, baader) will screw on to the threads. I own a number of other Celestron eyepieces, and all of my filters fit them just fine.Read more
