I asked Agena if they could tell me who made them , they politely declined.

Read between Agena’s lines….China!

On their site it said made in China, so it not like they hide which country made it, I thought it was asked who as in who design it.

 

I think of buy 1 to test with my Maks, it is $50 now

If your mak has a two inch back, and the $50.00 eyepiece is 2 inch I think you can't go wrong with the price.  I'm unsure how the wider field will reveal the MCT off axis abberations???
