StellaLyra SuperView wide-field eyepieces provide noticeably higher performance and greater comfort than regular eyepieces supplied with most telescopes.
Fully multi-coated edge-blackened optics provide bright high contrast views with excellent field flatness and very little false colour.
Available in a range of focal lengths with 1.25" or 2" nosepiece.
Good eye-relief so suitable for use with eye glasses.
Includes two end caps for storage.
Suitable for telescopes with focal-ratios f/5 or longer and 1.25" or 2" focuser.
This gives a very acceptable performance for a wide angle eyepiece at £39. The edge definition seems softer than more expensive models, but most of the field is sharp, and I can't see any noticeable chromatic aberration.
Excellent quality eyepiece and very good customer service.
It was a toss up between the 15mm BST Starguider and the Stellalyra 15mm Superview. I chose the Stellalyra as its a more compact eyepiece, has a wider field of view (68 degrees v 60 degrees), and no taper/undercut on the nosepiece. First impressions are the Superview is nicely put together, well blackened and with a removable nosepiece. Tested in a 102mm f7 refractor, no internal reflections from bright objects just outside the FOV are visible to my old eyes and stars appear sharp and without aberrations over about 85% of the view. Well pleased with this eyepiece, good value for the money.
