Cheapest way to get wide fields on a long focus Cassegrain

This 56-mm Plossl has an approximately 50 degree field. On a C8 the true field is 1.4 degrees at 36X.

On my Mewlon 210 the field is 1.16 degrees at 43X.

Compared to even a 68-degree eyepiece, the AFOV is narrow, but there's a lot of eye relief and no kidney-beaning even for someone like myself who wears glasses.

It's a good deal; the Televue 55mm is probably better, and the 41mm Panoptic would be even better (at 6X the cost).

Excellent

I got the 56 mm 2" product and it is amazing for the money. crisp clean views and good eye relief. I use it for all my deep space objects and it does a great job.

A good lowpower eyepiece

For my age (70), this eyepiece preforms well with my Meade 2120 10" f/10- SCT. The eye position is more critical then I had hoped. However, there was no "kidney beaning."

Monster eyepiece

A great low power eyepiece, superb for SCT, MAKs any scope really, encompasses a nice large area and nothing else to touch it for the money. Highly recommended.
