Looking for $400 performance in an under-$100 eyepiece? Then you can look no further.
With features like a super wide angle 70 degrees FOV, five elements of fully-multi-coated high-index glass, beautiful black anodized body and barrel, the Agena SWAs are as close as you can get.
- 70 degree apparent field of view, for that immersed in space feeling
- Available in 1.25 (10, 15 and 20mm focal lengths) and 2 (26, 32 and 38mm) formats to cover a wide range of magnifications and true field of views
- Super sharp, with excellent aberration correction and extremely high resolution rivaling higher-priced eyepieces
- Blackened lens edges, anti-reflection threads for maximum contrast
- Fold-down rubber eyecups, rubber grip rings for comfort and safety
- Sleek black barrel with safety undercut to reduce the possibility of the eyepiece slipping out of the focuser or diagonal
- Light in weight for their size, making for easier scope balancing
- All models are parfocal, reducing the need to refocus every time you change eyepieces
- Sold on other sites under different brand names for a lot more.
See why Erik Wilcox, reviewing the Agena SWA 2-inch eyepieces for Astronomy Technology Today magazine [Oct. 2007, pp. 36-38], said:
All these three eyepieces offer a great value, with a lot of "bang for the buck." Agena AstroProducts has really raised the bar with this line, and in the under $100 category, I feel that it would be difficult to find another line of 2-inch eyepieces that offer better performance for the price.
Reviewing our 20mm 1.25-inch SWA eyepiece on Cloudy Nights [Jun. 2007], Nathan Melendez concluded:
"Excellent performance in an inexpensive package. Highly recommended whether you wear glasses or not. These are great all purpose eyepieces...an incredible buy!!"
We even include a free bolt case with each SWA eyepiece (a value of up to $5.50)!
