These lenses are a serious upgrade over the lenses that came with my telescope. And they weren't bad. And frankly, the filters take my experience to a whole new level. Best purchase I've made in awhile. Other than the glowing frisbee(from the gift center)!

I am new to amateur astronomy and bought an Orion SpaceProbe 130EQ telescope. I chose this accessory kit, as the 130EQ comes with a 25mm and 10mm lens, and no lenses in this kit match that. The Orion version of this comes with a second 10mm lens, and I did not want to have a "duplicate"
I gave straight 5 star ratings because there is quite literally nothing wrong with this set. The value is amazing, the quality is brilliant, it's so easy to use a lens that it is difficult to mess it up, and they are machined extremely well. And as a bonus, the case has places to store extra lenses and some small tools, both of which I store in it. It has become a great accessory case for more then just what came with the kit.
The quality of these lenses is obvious when you unpack them. They are well made, and fit perfectly in the 130EQ. Being new to this hobby, I was slightly worried that they would not, but trusted the 1.25 measurement after doing a bit of research.
I have mixed the Orion Plossi lenses that came with my telescope and these for various purposes, and have noted that despite being from different manufacturers, they are both great.
On my first night, and within 10 minutes of looking through a real telescope for the first time in my life, I observed Jupiter plus four of its moons with the 17mm lens and resolved cloud bands perfectly. It takes a bit of your own eye doing some of the work, as my father had trouble seeing the bands at an equal magnification, but that is to be expected, as we both wear glasses. I find that I can wear my glasses with a standard lens just fine, while he has difficulty and needs to take his off and refocus the eyepiece. But to be able to see individual cloud bands on Jupiter so quickly and to see them so cleanly is to me, an indicator of just how good these are. Obviously it is still a tiny image, but it's amazing how much detail is in the smallest images.
All in all, this is a great kit for the price. I cannot wait until spring so I do not have to stand outside in 8 degree weather using a very very VERY cold metal telescope and no gloves to do some adjustments and lens swaps....
Favorite viewing location:??Backyard
Favorite object to observe:??Jupiter and Io
Pros: great value for this amount of lenses
Yes, I recommend this product!

I spent several months looking for good eyepieces to increase the use of my XT8, and finally settled on this kit. I was not disappointed with my choice.
The eyepieces are of good quality. They're not top of the line at this price, but they worked well enough. I saw little to no issues with the coating. The barlow worked well (the one I received was missing a tightening screw, but I had spare), and everything fit well into the included case.
As for the filters: The moon filter has seen some good use from First Quarter to Last Quarter lunar phases, but otherwise has been ignored. The colored filters leave something to be desired. The quality of them has kept me from using them outside of the first evening I went out.
The Case: The cases locks don't work, and I don't care. It's a case. It holds stuff. Mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned.
All in all, it's an awesome purchase for the cost. You really will not find a set of eyepieces of this quality at this price today.
Favorite viewing location:??Local dim field
Favorite object to observe:??Albireo
Pros: good quality eyepieces, barlow magnifies to a x2 magnification, case does hold things, lunar filter dims appropriately
Cons: the colored filters leave something to be desired
Yes, I recommend this product!

After checking the prices on individual lenses and eyepieces, I decided a kit would be a better deal based on what I could spend. When I bought my Skyquest XT6 it came with a 25mm Sirius Plossl. I was able to see good clear views of the sky, but wanted to try out different magnifications and be able to check out the moon and planets with the use of filters. After reading reviews on this kit I decided to purchase it. I was very pleased with the assortment of eyepieces, color filters, and the moon filter. I knew not to expect very clear views with the highest magnification, but I got a much better look at Jupiter on my first night even with the 6mm and 8mm. My favorite was to use the 13mm or the 17mm (with and without the Barlow). The moon filter made viewing much easier without the glare. I was able to look at the moon at a much fuller point that before. I also enjoyed viewing it with each colored filter. I was pleased that the carrying case came with a guide to what each filter will reveal on the moon and each planet. I was also glad to have an extra section for my additional accessories, which held my original eyepiece, red LED, collimation cap, and telescope tools. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase!
Favorite viewing location:??My yard in the country.
Favorite object to observe:??Saturn
Yes, I recommend this product!
