Re: Best Eyepieces For $100 or Less

No doubts:
University Optics Orthoscopics - two families, $60 and $80 each. There is no sharper eyepiece for planets and the Moon, and they are utterly distortion and color free. My favorite ever eyepieces because they "just do it", lack any sort of holy relic effect, and are a perfcct fit of form and function.
Meade Series 4000 Plossls - $299 for a set of six with case, $199 if purchased with any scope at all - $50 each up to 26mm, $70 for the 32mm and 40mm, $100 for the 2" 56mm Plossl. The latter is an impressive eyepiece in its brutal simplicity and utter solidity. They make great choices for binoviewers because of their low price. solid build, great eye relief, light weight, and excellent optical quality.
For some reason it is fashionable to look down on Meade accessories. Don't be fooled. These are the best buy around in eyepieces, along with their spiritual brothers from Japan, the UO Orthos.
