Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 17mm Orion Stratus Wide-Field Eyepiece
Customer Review: I Love It
Summary: 5 Stars
Partly based on the other reviews here I got this eyepiece and I am not disappointed! I use it with my XT8 and the Orion nebula really looks 3D somehow, especially with my 2x barlow (140x magnification), something like you might see in a 3D movie, simply amazing! The colors just really pop. Even better than pictures in a magazine because of the clarity, realism, and the 3D effect. Way better than the Plossi eyepiece that came with the XT8. The field of view is the same as the 25 mm plossi but the magnification and clarity are sooo much better.
Description of 17mm Orion Stratus Wide-Field Eyepiece
Enjoy a wide-field window into the heavens served up by Stratus eyepieces. With an apparent field of 68-deg -- which translates to a 71% greater viewing area than that of a typical Plossl -- Stratus eyepieces quite literally put more stars in your eyes. In the same way you feel more a part of the action watching a big-screen TV, with Stratus you will feel like you are really experiencing your celestial targets, rather than just viewing them from afar. Each ocular features a monster 1-1/4"-diameter eye lens to look into. Each also has a generous 20mm of eye relief, so you'll get the big picture even if you wear eyeglasses. The optics are fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission to your eyes, and the lens edges are blackened to ensure excellent contrast. Stratus eyepieces fit in both 1.25" and 2" focusers. Each is threaded for filters and comes with protective lens caps.Eyepieces
