NEW 56mm 1.25" Plossl
This 56mm Plossl was originally made as a special request for a customer that wanted a long focal length eyepiece with large diameter lenses in a 1.25" barrel. At first, I wondered why he simply didn't go with a 2 inch eyepiece but there were several reasons and all of them made perfect sense. He wanted 1.25" because that's all his telescope could use and he didn't feel the need to spend the money to convert his scope to a 2" focuser -- good answer, most people have a budget, especially for their hobbies. The second reason was that he wanted a long focal length, with large diameter lenses, to use with his eyepiece projection camera. Lastly, he wanted a low-power, long eye-relief, eyepiece for scanning, which he claims can even help locate and find faint objects his "finder" can't even see.
So, introducing the 1.25" 56mm Plossl made with HUGE 30mm diameter lenses and widest possible clear aperature at 28mm. The 56mm 1.25" Plossl is not available anywhere else on the planet except Russell Optics & Machine! Huge multi-coated lenses, nice long eye-relief, 28mm clear aperature, threaded for standard 1.25" filters, and superb sharpness from edge to edge. If you are limited to 1.25" eyepieces and want an excellent low-power, super-sharp occular, this is a must-have item and great dollar value to boot.

NEW 6.7mm Super-Wide Konig 70° AFOV
This 6.7mm Super-Wide Konig is a must-have in every astronomers case. It is our newest eyepiece and one that customers have been requesting for many years. It is now our highest power eyepiece, designed with the astronomer in mind. It took years to come up with the right lenses to meet our goals, but we did, and it's here to stay.
This 6.7mm masterpiece can be used in any design scope from F-3.8 to F-20 due to the extremely flexible Konig design. Superb for planetary and double star work, with the added advantages of the long eye-relief of 18mm and an Apparent FOV of 70 degrees, for wide-field viewing of clusters and nebula. Compare this eyepiece, with nearly twice the FOV and as much as 4 times the eye-relief, to one of the high power plossls or high dollar orthos and they just cannot compete.
Generous 18mm of eye-relief, 70° FOV, and superb multi-coated XL lenses yield some of the finest views you will get out of any type of telescope. Compare this eyepiece to others selling for 4-5 times as much and you will quickly see why it will become one of our most popular eyepieces.
As you may notice in the picture, the 6.7mm SWA has a 1.25" bottom barrel and uses standard 1.25" filters; however, it also has a 2" machined step on the housing so it can also be used in "optimised" Newtonians that have extremely limited focus travel. Like two eyepieces in one.
