Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of 6mm Orion Expanse Telescope Eyepiece
Customer Review: Nice Wide Field View BUT.....
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased one of these last year and used it in my 10 inch newtonian reflector. Initially I was impressed with the pinpoint star images across the whole field of view. Then, as I moved my eye, I saw something move, at first I thought it was a satellite, but then I didn't move like any satellite I've seen. Was it a UFO??
I thought for a split second that it might be. Then I realized that it was the dim image of a bright star, and it would gradually move as either the telescope, or my head moved. I then decided to try it on a really bright object. Saturn happened to be handy, so I turned my telescope that way. There she was all nice and pretty in the telescope eyepiece, but alongside was a fainter, but still quite noticable second Saturn in the field.
This effect is called ghosting and is the result of inferior lens coatings. This results in reflections similar to what I saw. Fortunately Orion has a wonderful return policy, so I sent mine back and recieved a full refund. This is the only Orion product that I have ever been unhappy with.
