Astro-Tech 17mm Series 6 wide field eyepiece

The 17mm 1.25” Astro-Tech Series 6 is a good quality four element/three group eyepiece with a wide 65° field of view. It lets you explore expansive deep space vistas at only a fraction the cost of exotic wide field designs. It’s great for filling the gap between the lower power eyepiece supplied with most telescopes and a high power lunar/planetary eyepiece. The low price makes it a very affordable wide-field choice to buy in pairs for binoviewer use.

Astro-Tech 20mm Series 6 wide field eyepiece

The 20mm Astro-Tech Series 6 is a good medium power/wide field (65°) 1.25” fully multicoated four element/three group eyepiece at a very little price. While it’s particularly well-suited for low power use with Dobsonian scopes and short focal length refractors, it can provide “picture window onto space” images with any telescope type. The low price of this eyepiece also makes it a very affordable choice to buy in pairs for binoviewer use.
