+Glafnazur Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 hi, I'm thinking of a new planetary eyepiece (or eyepieces) for my new Bresser MC127 Mak and I saw an advert on ABS for Ohi Optical Genuine Abbe Orthoscopic Eyepieces and was wondering if anyone had any experience or thoughts on these? https://okularum.eu/Masuyama/Genuine-Abbe-Orthoscopic-Eyepiece-6mm Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Bino-viewer Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi Dave. I actually have 2x Abbe Ortho eyepieces. I think they are 16mm. (Both, i always buy pairs of eyepieces as i'm a 2 eyed observer!) They are very small and light. Anyway, pop over and take them away for a try out, and see if you like them. Drop me a PM when you are ready 😀 +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thanks Rob, I might take you up on that sometime. I was wondering whether to convert to binoviewing myself. I've read a lot of good things about using two eyes although some people don't seem to get on with them. I thought maybe the WO version to see how I get on.

+Bino-viewer Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I personally would recommend the Baader Maxbright 2 over the WO. Great value as well. +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightspore Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 AFAIK Ohi manufacture most of the Abbe ortho's on the market, these are (and have been) sold under a variety of names. +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) This is my abbe ortho pair. They are only £40 each iirc.
