Got this eyepiece on loan to try. Had to be better than my very narrow 2.5MM LV. Anyone like this eyepiece?
2.5mm Burgess / TMB planetary series any good?

Is it a newer one (a clone) or an older one from Burgess Optical?

No clue. It is black and no box.

I think if it is a Burgess/TMB it should have a chrome barrel. At least all the one's I have do...

Should be good then. Let us know what you think when you try it out.

I have the 2.5 Burgess/TMB and was able to use it in an 80mm on the moon. At 192 power it was a nice view. The sky was good that night. Most of the time I am not able to use that power.
Enjoy it you will have good sky most of the time.

I like this eyepiece much better than the LV . Much more easy to look thru in this scope.
