Thinking of buying a Celestron 8se, includes a nice meade series 5000 40mm EP, and these 2 that I can't seem to ID.. anyone recognize them?

 

Thanks

 

Ed.

Thanks, this info makes the price even more enticing.. might pull the trigger if it is still available.

These eyepieces are really easy to sale if you do not want to keep them

I think I will keep them if I get them, been rockin' my ~20 year old OWL Astronomy Optics EPs (Do they still exist???) So time for an upgrade.

They have a pretty narrow but well corrected fov (45-50*), AND have 20mm of eye relief.  They came in a ton of focal lengths.  Really nice eyepieces.  They've changed clothing over time (LV/NLV/SLV), but are all the same optics (with coating updates).  Really nice on planets if you have tracking..
