I got one of these with my first scope as a freebie. They were £15 at the time, only spent £130 on the scope. I use it in my 127mm mak and it works great. Sharp as a tack with a 2x Barlow.
I ordered a 15mm fully coated plossl eyepiece off eBay for 16.99 plus 3 quid postage.I’m wondering why it was so cheap.they normally go for 30-40 quid.usually if it’s to good to be true it normally is!
Hello, I bought a 15mm OMNI from Aliexpress and they can't be good, just because of their weight. I have other good quality PLOSSL eyepieces and the difference is very noticeable. Now if you buy the original, it sure will be good. An astronomical greeting.
I think all Celestron ep's are good. Generally the more you spend the better it will be. If you want cheap then maybe the same as the one in this video but 10, 8 or 6mm 👍

I have also own one of the Omni eyepieces and wow, there made such good quality.
I like the 15mm because it has better eye relief then the fancy tele vue 15, so the Omni is more comfortable to use.

Yes always best to buy from a reputable store 👍

I agree 👍
I have a skywatcher Explorer I wanted to upgrade my eyepiece what one would you say is best for planets I was thinking 8mm to get a nice view

@@astroamateuruk wouldn't 6mm be blurry on planets I got the skywatcher Explorer 130x900
@@spacewatcher968 yes it would be blurry with a 6
@@astroamateuruk ok I've been trying to get 8 or preferably a 10 for looking at planets
@@spacewatcher968 the lowest number have/highest power is a TMB planetary 9mm, seems OK but there will be better out there
I just bought a celestron powerseeker 60eq, but it's missing eye pieces. Could you please tell me if omni eyepieces are compatible with it?
yes i think so, as far as i am aware the 60eq would need 1.25" diameter eyepieces just like my skywatcher, try 10mm 15mm 25mm eyepieces 👍
Hi I'm new to telescope I've got a 25mm in my celestron now I've seen a osmi celestron lence 40mm will that make things closer thanks
Hi no, it will make things look further away, the higher the number is the lower the magnification will be. So try a 15mm & a 10mm to get closer.
@astroamateuruk thanks for that I asked some one else too and said a 12mm or 10mm be better to get a closer shot
Hi there thanks for the Video .. just ordered omni 40mm eyepiece but is gonna work on reflector telescope ? Best regards
a 40mm should be ok giving a larger area to view 👍
@@astroamateuruk thanks mate for answering .. will take a while to arrive anyway . I subscribe in your channel .
@@ngc290 how was this 40 mm omni...i bought today for around 40 usd
Is it can be use to see deep sky object like Andromeda galaxy?
to be honest i dont know as i havent had the chance to try, i would imagine with a big enough aperture/scope (8/10" or bigger) maybe it could
