I love your reviews and i always listen to your recommendations, that is how i got my Svbony 40mm, the svbony camera, bahtinov mask and so many tricks and tips for observation! now i am getting that 6mm eyepice for sure! Greetings from Argentina!
I'll have to look for one of these eyepieces. The SVBony eyepieces that I've bought in the past did not disappoint. My favorite is the SVBony SV 131 25mm. The eye relief is very generous and gives a nice wide low power view without the vibration that is noticable with higher power eyepieces.
Thanks Jason, I bought one of these last weekend and it's great to see your review! It's been thick cloud ever since so I've not tried it yet. Hopefully Monday midnight on I'll get a chance. Cheers
you made a better choice with the 5. It has a 20mm eye releaf you'll be a lot more relaxed viewing throw it.I have a 5 mm Baader from 2009 and also the 14mm/24mm rings.That gives youa 8.4 mm/7.1 mm/6.1 mm now you have 4 eye pieces. Keep looking up from N.C.
Yes, it's basically the same eyepiece, as well as Angeleyes 6mm FMC 68 Degree that you can buy for less than 20 pounds with free 10 days delivery from one well known Chinese marketplace.
I have a Skywatcher 9mm Planetary eye piece but i used it for the Sun and Moon too.I'm guessing it would be good for splitting double stars although I haven't tried it for that.
Jason! I was waiting for a new video and there it is. I just ordered a 20 and a 6 the other week, your video did away with the doubts about my purchase. Yeah for the price svbony is great, thanks for the review and all the advices over the years... One day I'll have to come over to the UK and buy you a beer, or two 😂 Clear skies!
9mm 68deg (66) is a very nice eyepiece for the money you pay. Good for astronomy but not for day time observation. Works perfectly with a Barlow lens. Not perfect on the edge, kidney beans easy (at daytime very easy), has field curvature and some distortion. But the transmission is very good. Eye relief is long. The center of the field is sharp. It is pretty wide and cheap. To buy something much better you have to pay 4x more. If you can live with some imperfections, you'll be happy with this eyepiece.
HI im new to your channel and astromony, my question is about exit eye pupil. I've seen that you should'nt go too low on exit size.I've read not to go under 1.0mm ? Im 59 and wear glasses and would like to know your expierence on higher powered pieces and exit pupil size.. cheers and great channel im learning alot.
I understand that the images are quite dim at less than 1mm exit, but observing moon would not be an issue as its too bright, also you can have luck with planets, its not made for DSO, for DSO, the best pupil should be 7mm if you are young, around 6 if you are older.
Eyepieces work with GIGO principle: No matter how close to perfect eyepiece is, it can only show that garbage more accurately. And (Chinese) Celestron doesn't sell Bird-Jones telescopes, which would be big improvement, but complete scams made from rejects dumpster optics.
Hey Jason, I love that you review so much of SVB’s lineup, you have by far the best reviews of their products of anyone on UA-cam. I’ve bought several of their products and happy with all of them Do you think you could review their helical focuser at some point? I’m considering it as a “fine tuning” focuser to use at high magnification as it drops into the standard focuser like an eyepiece but lets you focus in tiny increments, I think… thanks! My scope is very similar to yours, a 134mm Newtonian on EQ mount, but mine is f/4.9
@@richardmetcalfjr.1552 these high power 2" are basically 1.25" with 2" barrel, as they usually have 1.25 versions with exactly the same specs. The only reason for their existence is convenience- some prefer to have all eyepieces with 2" barrel, but as I said- put such high power 1.25" eyepiece into adapter and voila - you have a 2" eyepiece.
I went to the Svbony site looking for one of these, but found a slightly different 6mm eyepiece instead, with a 68° FOV. It was ~€22 and €9 P&P... or €15 P&P if you want to dodgy import fees. I've bought a lot of stuff from the Svbony website, and the extra few quid P&P to dodge customs is fantastic, especially if you're buying something expensive. I think they probably send the items to Germany or somewhere, in bulk, and then there's no customs into other EU countries after that. Not sure if it works this way in the UK though..
Hello Mr. Jason. I'm planning to start astronomy as a visual observer so that I'm looking for a telescope. After researching a lot of days I found an Indian company named Edisla (I'm an Indian😊) is selling a scope with parabolic mirror exactly like the Orion Starblast 4.5 reflector dobsonian, with some better accessories like a 10 & a 20mm plossl eyepieces and a 3x achromatic Barlow. I already made up my mind, but still need an expert opinion. SHOULD I GO FOR IT? And love your videos ❤
FYI gents and ladies. Take that 6 mm divide it by your F/ratio of your scope and that will give you your exit pupil. If it's below .5 mm I would be ??????. Eye glass wearers mostly.
Just bought the 68° 6mm eyepiece on Amazon for £46. There was a 20% voucher at the time. Nice one! Yes I know it's a lot more money for the extra 2° but I don't trust the 666 one. 😂
I might get the skywatcher version to replace the supplied one with my omegon 90 f11 refractor. I think plossl's are pretty crap I dont know what the fuss is about rubbish field of view and rubbish eye relief all you need for a highly uncomfortable night
My uncle actually has a 6mm 68° eyepiece from SVbony (redline). I borrowed it from him for a few weeks. I have tried it a few times (at night) and Jupiter was beautiful with it. Unfortunately I couldn't try Saturn, but I've already seen it with his telescope and the 6mm SVbony eyepiece. And the Moon is also beautiful with it. So I definitely recommend it👍 By the way I have a Bresser Messier 5" Dobson and my uncle has a Sky-Watcher Dobson 130/650 Heritage.

Just bought the 4 eyepiece set. 20, 15, 9, and 6mm. I can't wait to try them in my telescopes
I'm pretty new to astronomy but I just adore your humor and relatability. Thanks friend

Nice eyepiece.
I have the 6 and 20 mm ones and both are great. I like them a lot.
I can second this!

Looks good. If I hadn't already shelled out £130+ on a 5mm Baader Hyperion, I'd be having one of those.

Hi Jason. I have that 666 e.p..came with the 4 bundle package. Haven't used it yet. Good eye pieces for the price. Thanks.

.. and some light scattering - you may see a faint ray of light, if you look at some bright object.

I wouldn’t recommend this eyepiece with telescopes of f-ratios higher than 12. It will push the magnification higher than their theoretical limits.
first :D
