Explore Scientific Eyepiece

It would take too long to list all my eyepieces. I don't actually know where a lot of them are. I have a pair of Ohi 25mm orthoscopics (mine are Astro Hutech). The Fujiyama and Astro Hutech are just re-badged Ohi.

I didn't think there was a 25mm BCO. After 18mm isn't there a 32mm Plossl?

I finally collected a set of Tak ortho's not long before they ceased making them.

The 18mm Astro Hutech (next to the 18mm BCO below) was the first ortho' I ever bought. It still gets used. It was the eyepiece that kind of converted me to ortho's.

That is quite interesting, the lens diameters are so tiny for the higher powers, well from 7mm to 3.5mm

I believe ortho's generally have slightly longer eye relief compared to Plossls.
