Customer Review: Fantastic multi-purpose EP, highly recommended.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm so glad Orion decided to update the typical cheap plossl eyepiece with fully multi-coated lenses and a very solid, nice looking frame. It looks and performs as well as you could possibly hope for in an ep of this price range. Light transmission is excellent on my little 80mm refractor, and images are very sharp. Eye relief isn't bad (12mm or so, I think), and field of view is acceptably wide for a non-widefield eyepiece. I don't have any expensive, premium eyepieces to compare it to, but it easily beats out my 14mm Antares W70 in sharpness and light transmission, though not FOV. In fact, coupled with a 2.8X Klee barlow it performs just about as well as my Televue 7mm plossl, but with much better eye relief. I've really only kept the Televue because I'm too lazy to slip the barlow on and off. :)
Description of 17mm Orion HighLight Plossl Telescope Eyepiece
Orion HighLight Plossls are our exclusive, premium line of 1.25" Plossl eyepieces with some noteworthy enhancements. HighLight eyepieces offer a generous 52-deg field of view and crisp, sharp images. The HighLights' 4-element optics are fully multi-coated -- every air-to-glass lens surface is multi-layer coated for the highest possible light transmission and better contrast. The lens edges are blackened for additional contrast enhancement. The machined aluminum housings of the HighLight Plossls sport a distinctive anodized finish, with grip traction knurled right into the metal. Supple rubber eyeguards shield out extraneous light and fold down for eyeglass wearers. The barrels of HighLight Plossls are precision-machined to a tolerance of +/- 0.05mm from the nominal specification, so you can be sure of a great fit in your diagonal or focuser. And of course they are internally threaded to accept filters.Eyepieces
