X-cell eyepieces - Celestron Telescopes Eyepieces X-CEL Series

While these eyepieces are a step up, I still enjoy and get as good a views out of my cheap Zhummel eyepieces that are just as good. The E-Cell's do have a wider FOV, but they don't do any better at reducing internal reflections. This is where they dissapointed me. Had they had less internal reflection I would have been much more pleased. Not as wide a view and more internal reflection than my Ortho's but, at a much lower cost. Of corse nothing comes close to my one Nagler. May be a better deal to save and buy the Baader eyepieces. 3 Quality eyepieces with a quality Barlow makes a much more useful investment than a bunch of cheap eyepieces, so these are at least NOT cheap eyepieces, but they are not the Best either. They do suffer from black outs when your eye is not lined up perfect, but do give a slightly wider good view. These seem to hold their value well when sold used. I've seen many go for near new price on e-bay. Always buy new unless you are getting a great deal, and are willing to take the chance on getting junk.
Pros: Good Value
Cons: Still not that great
