Ive no experience with other UWA eyepieces, but to my eye this one produces good images over a wide field. The unique design means that weight ,size, and price are kept low. I looked at the Beehive star cluster last night which fills the field of view on my scope. The stars were well focussed with only slight distortion (coma) at the edge. I took off one star rating as the rubber eyecups are flimsy and inadequate. The shielded one simply comes loose when used .As the image depends quite critically on the eye position a more robust eyecup would be more appropriate (Ive made my own support from a cut down loo roll which works quite well....).

This is a brilliant addition to my toybox providing the nice widefield view I was after. Just to add cream on top, the eyepiece has a thread which allows direct connection with an adapter to a dslr "T" ring for eyepiece projection.

This eyepiece is great. It is the widest and sharpest eyepiece I have in my collection so far. It is also great together with the Daystar Quark!

Good optics, sturdy aspect, versatyle and well designed

I bought this lens (31mm) at the end of last winter from FLO - the only negative comment I have about it is it has made most of the rest of my lens redundant on some nights viewing as its the only one I use. I do have some regrets in the purchases I've made since I started this hobby - the 31mm Aspheric is definitely not one of them. Don't hesitate if your looking for a wide field e/p to complete your collection its a great bit of kit

I purchased the 36mm Hyperion around 6 months ago and i am very happy with it, i have had a chance to compare the views with some of the other eyepieces in this price bracket and the Hyperion in all cases produced a bright and pleasing image, it is comfortable with the pull up eyepiece cup and have a large flat ocular. I would certainly recommend this eyepiece for wide field viewing.

The optional 1.25" or 2" fitting is really useful and the eyepieces come in a nice pouch.
