Having invested much time and many dollars in this hobby, I find the Agena SWA eyepieces to be one of the best values, best performers at anywhere near the price. It gives medium power wide angle views with pinpoint stars to the edge on the little refractor. I also have a very fast short tube refractor piggybacked on top of my SCT and the 10mm SWA works very well in this scope as well. I thought it was good before but now all I can say is WOW!!! This pair of 10mm SWA eyepieces give incredibly stunning planetary views with my binoviewer in my 8" SCT. I suppose it is possible that a given reseller might pay to have improved coatings or something, but it isnt evident. I then bought a WO binoviewer and a match for my 10mm SWA. The 38mm, 32mm, 26mm trio of Erfles appear to be identical (other than markings) regardless of who resell it: Orion Q70, Agena SWA, Garrett Optical, University Optics, and probably others. I had several high end high power eyepieces that I ended up selling, prefering the Agena 10mm SWA. I was blown away by the performance of Agena's 10mm SWA.
My first 10mm SWA was for high power wide angle viewing with my 8" SCT, primarily planetary viewing. This is actually my 2nd purchase of this wonderful eyepiece. These are great all purpose eyepieces.an incredible buy!!"Ĭompact,Good contrast,Strong Construction,Quality Lenses,Lightweight,Good eye relief Cons: Highly recommended whether you wear glasses or not. "Excellent performance in an inexpensive package. Reviewing our 20mm 1.25-inch SWA eyepiece on Cloudy Nights, Nathan Melendez concluded: See why Erik Wilcox, reviewing the Agena SWA 2-inch eyepieces for Astronomy Technology Today magazine, said:Īll 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. Light in weight for their size, thus minimizing or eliminating the need to rebalance your telescope.Sleek black barrel with safety undercut to reduce the possibility of the eyepiece slipping out of the focuser or diagonal.Fold-down rubber eyecups, rubber grip rings for comfort and safety.Blackened lens edges, anti-reflection threads for maximum image contrast.Super sharp, with excellent aberration correction and extremely high resolution rivaling higher-priced eyepieces.
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 fields of view.70 degree apparent field of view, for that immersed in space feeling.These eyepieces will give you crisp and wide views of the Moon, planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, rivaling the performance of much higher priced eyepieces. With features like a wide 70 degree apparent FOV, five elements of fully multi-coated high-index glass, beautiful black anodized body and barrel, the Agena Super Wide Angle (SWA) eyepieces are as close as you can get. Looking for $400 performance in an under-$100 eyepiece? Then you can look no further.
