Telescope Eyepieces Arrived

Image
The eyepieces I had ordered last week for our little cheap telescope for the kids to use arrived yesterday afternoon... finally! These are relatively low-cost eyepieces but far better than the cheap, useless Celestron eyepieces that came with this telescope.  Since the moon was still in the sky this morning (again), I tested these new eyepieces by viewing the moon. These eyepieces looked great and are a tremendous step up from the original Celestron eyepieces so this was a good, low cost solution. They are not as good as my larger Baader Hyperion eyepieces but they are just fine for this cheap little telescope. The view of the moon this morning was quite nice. The three smaller eyepieces to the right, below... Orion Expanse eyepieces... are the eyepieces to be used with this small scope. The larger Baader Hyperion eyepieces to the left are for my better telescope and are quite good! I'm now looking forward to some clear night skies!
