I bought a 10" Dobsonian a couple of months ago and my first purchase for eyepieces was that exact set from SVBony . I'm no expert but I'm loving them . I'm 62 and this is my first telescope :)
Hi Nodders, I also got the set and would say that 20mm and 15mm are quite good for the price but 9mm and 6mm suffer kidney-beaning. Do you notice the same?
@@gonguereguere2404 I have a 6mm eyepiece from this series and along with my 12" Dobsonian it is simply outstanding. As for the kidney effect, yes you are right, it does suffer from it. That's why I fitted the eyepiece with a "special eyecups" to prevent my eye from deviating and to keep it fixed at the right distance and position.
I have a SVbony 2 inch, 26mm, FOV 70 and it is a great general eyepiece. It is my go-to eyepieces and I only paid around 70 USD. I will definitely buy more SVbony eyepieces in the future.
Thanks for the review, I got the 6mm uw as my first eyepiece and it has been a dream with my short scope. Its perfect for the moon and planets without having to use a barlow. although using a barlow to look at the moon with that eyepiece was an AWEsome experience since I could see the shapes of the shadows of the mountains so clearly, it was very beautiful
Thank you! This is my first eyepiece set. I've bought them and was amazed after original eyepieces. I have 114 mm, f900 mm reflector telescope and with svbony I can see full moon in 100x! With 20 mm eyepiece I can find M57 in Lyra without any problem, because angle of view accommodates a distance exactly between Sulafat and Sheliak. These eyepieces are really bright and good!
I have just bought the 66 degree gold band one, in 15mm guise. It's significantly cheaper than the red band, and is only 1mm better for eye distance, and I watched a in dept video and he said he could not tell any diffrence between the 66 degree gold band and the 68 degree red band.
These are decent eyepieces and they are nice and clear to look through. The FOV was measured to be around 65 degrees which is still very good. My only complaint is that they suffer from kidney beaning. Some focal lengths more than others. All in all they are a very good step up from the eyepieces supplied with most telescopes. Another great video Jason 👍
Managed to get a stunning crisp view of the moon with one of these. Truly impressed given the price. Was a little disappointed with colour aberration around the edges of the moon, and I was completely disappointed when viewing stars as I couldn't get any to focus. That said, I was using a large scope where such issues could have been more pronounced. Mightn't be too bad with smaller optics. Definitely worth a try for the price point.
$110 for the set of four from their website. That is a great deal . I love it. I have a 7-21mm SvBony zoom EP an its my most used, most favorite EP. Might have to grab this set.
Hello Jason! I purchased this exact set a while back and am more than pleased with their quality and performance! The 15° doesn't get much use as I have a 14° E.S. with 82° FOV, but the other 3 are used with every observing session. I have an 8" and a 12" dob and they work well in both scopes. I was glad to hear that you liked them, too. Hoping you have clear skies. Thanks again
What would be *super* helpful is a direct comparison between this and the gold ring 66° UW (Orion Expanse), as they're comparable price and specs. I need to find an affordable long relief low power piece for a f5 scope. As far as Ive found, no one has really done a good review on either the 66° or Expanse pieces. Theres one decent review of the 66° under the TS Optics brand, but still, it's basically the guy just saying its good.
I picked up a free Dobsonian recently. Everything complete but was way out of collimation, the reason I believe it was free. The original eyepieces were also very cheap plastic. I bought the SVbony 6, 9, 15 & 20mm set and a 2x Barlow. I'm a total novice but the viewing to me is fantastic with these eyepieces. The eyepiece set cost $40 US on Amazon. The Barlow was $18 US
I have the 9mm of this series and i love it! Normally i do astrophoto, but putting the 9mm to see the planets is always relaxing and a pleasure ^^ Saludos from Spain!
They absolutely do make 2" eye pieces I have a 32 mill 72ﾟ a 26 mm 70ﾟ and at 15 mm however the 15 mm has quite a bit of coma coma around the edge of field
This is an excellent recommendation, thanks for the review Jason. Very helpful. I was unsure about how much I should spend on an affordable first eyepiece upgrade or what viewing characteristics I would even like. I had the stock achromats included with my Heritage 130p scope. After watching your review it seemed like a no-brainer and I got the Svbony UW 15mm for AU$55 (US$38) to try it. Straight away it's a winner. Quality metal construction, nice wide lens and expansive field of view, sharp at the centre with great contrast. Stars do gradually get blurred towards the edges but the wide field of view means that it's hardly bothersome (worth mentioning the achromats also suffer some blurring too). Overall it's terrific. And now the 20mm is on sale from Svbony themselves for AU$48 (US$33.50) which is.....ridiculously good value, for what you're getting.
Hi Jason great review and very good advice on getting one now! They will go up in price when they get popular as time goes on. Very nice shots of moon and M3 I'm impressed. I agree with you astronomy.etc can get expensive especially astrophotography. Now and then you can get a bargain especially second hand. I recently bought the Huawei p40pro second hand and wow its bloody awesome for astrophotography. I hope you do another video when you get more of them and show how good they are as better eyepieces than your standard ones you get when starting out! Take care friend and clear skies as here in Scotland its all night twilight. 🌙
Hey Bushcraft. Yeah svbony never seems to disappoint, they may go up a little in price especially with the way things are globally at the moment (hopefully not too much.) It's a great niche they have though especially in the astronomy game to produce budget but quality products.. Mobile phone astrophotography is still my favourite method Im definitely going to be doing more vids on the subject.. Soooo much easier than other methods😂. Take care buddy, clear skies 🙂
I use these. they get the job done and the eye relief is huge. Call me crazy but trying to see saturn through a 6mm hole from a 6mm eyepiece is a bit too mcuh for me XD
I was skeptical but this review pushed me to buy them. Thanks! Bought the 15mm and 20mm first. Loved them so much that on the same night I ordered also the 6 and 9. They also go by the brand AngelEyes (which I got), which is even a bit cheaper. So much better than the stock Plossls that I have used them only once since getting these.
I get a 9mm to but the border of field is not sharp and well defined blury with blu chroma on day. Wondering if it Normal or i get a Bad one ? In comparaison my Vixen lv 7mm is very sharp and no chroma on side...
There are two different 25mm svbony plossl eyepieces on Amazon. One is all black and the other is high polished and black The difference is fov. The high polished and black has a higher fov
Hi Jason, been watching your videos for a few weeks now, should have done this a while ago. Had 2 scopes I haven't used for some years, pulled them out again and checked out the last full moon we just had, So much enjoyed it but just wasn't good enough. Since watching your videos, I have learned a lot and thrive to be better at checking out the skies. I just purchased this UW lens and also the variable filter from your other video for the brightness of the moon. I'm like you, I don't want to see a green moon, but a nice, natural looking one. Can wait for the next full moon to check on the new filter and get better images. Keep up the nice work, love the videos! next venture is a camera for the scope. Take care
Hi Jason been a while I have all 4 got them for £120 it was a good year or so ago and all of them r very good (for the money) however the 9/6mm r not as good as the 15/20mm the 6mm especially, but still a lot better then the standard eyepiece that come with a telescope, I moved on from the svbony to the baader hyperion/ morpheus and there's a difference in what u c its not massive but its definitely there, especially in the deep sky objects, however Id still recommend the svbony as a good starter set, to find what mm works best in ur telescope as there is allways one that gets used more. don't be put off by what iv put in getting the svbony, I'm comparing them to very good eyepiece that cost the same/more for 1 that u get 4 svbony for, and under your sky there may not be any difference depending on the light pollution,I found that the biggest factor in scope or eyepieces is light pollution I have a 10inch and it's fantastic in my very dark skies, however in my brothers garden just more unwanted light and that is not good for the scope or eyepieces 🤣🤷
@@Astronurd I wasn't 🤣 however there isent really anything under £100 for an eyepiece that is 68°,and after the svbony what else could u say would be an upgrade, as I say there good for the money and a brilliant first set to get, but u do get what u pay for, there definitely not as the baader hyperions, I can't comment on how good the svbony r compared with other cheap eyepiece, as apart from the mead/celestron/and skywatcher eyepiece that came with the telescopes, iv not had anything other then baader 68 and 76°👍
Hi Jason. Great review. I could not find these on Amazon. Can you provide the model numbers for each? I have several SV Bony lenses in my toolbox but that 20mm or 15mm may be a great add. Thanks in advance.
I purchased the 4 eyepiece kit on Amazon in the U.S. in November last year. This is the product "header" description: SVBONY Telescope Eyepiece Fully Multi Coated 1.25 inches Telescope Lens 66 Degree Ultra Wide Angle HD Telescope Accessory (6mm 9mm 15mm 20mm) Item Model Number: FUSN6003A Amazon ASIN: B01MR78I42 The model and ASIN may be different if purchased outside the USA, but the header should be very similar. The Amazon page has links to the individual eyepieces included in the kit. Hope this data helps.
Hello, Jason; Thank you for all you do. I've got 10 eyepieces, 7 Plossls, 2 Huygens, & 1 SR 4mm that is not any good. I'd like to try to fix my SR 4mm but it's pretty cheaply made, looks like it's glued together. I'm on a tight budget because I'm on disability. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Hello Jon. Its usually the case with cheap high powered eyepieces that's why I always recommend (especially on a budget) a good quality barlow lens and avoid cheap high powered eyepieces. The lower powered plossl's you have will work great with a barlow and will also double your eyepiece collection with one purchase 😃
Does a wider angle give the same view as a low power with a lesser angle? So does a 20mm with 68 fov give the same kind of observation as a 25mm with a 50 fov?
Roughly speaking, first find the magnification of a given eyepiece with a given telescope by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, a 1000mm telescope objective using a 20mm eyepiece will produce a magnification of 50X. Now take the apparent field of view of the eyepiece and divide it by the magnification and that will give you the true field of view. So, with the SV bony 20mm UW field eyepiece with the 68º apparent field of view, the true field one will see in the sky through the 1000mm scope would be 68/50 or roughly 1.36º. The 25mm eyepiece in your question would produce 40X on the 1000mm telescope, and with the 50º field of view eyepiece, the true field of view would be 50/40 = 1.25º.
I have several eyepieces SVBony from the 66° UW-line. I can absolutely recommend the 20mm, 15mm and 9mm - these eyepieces are simply gorgeous for it's price. Even on a telescope with f/5, they show a very good and sharp picture! 😎👌🔭 But the 6mm eyepiece is just terrible, unfortunately 😒 It gives such a disgusting picture that I immediately sold it. And then I heard the same thing about it from many astronomers I knew. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but the picture through 9mm with a rather cheap 2x Barlow lens even better than just through this 6mm 🙄🤷♂
The 66° svbony with the yellow band, is the Orion Expanse. I dont have any, but of the eps Ive examined, Ive found the difference between the Svbony and Orion/Sirius is that the Orions have one or two elements edge blackened (usually the field lens and usually poorly) and the Svbony have none. That said, I was surprised to find my Celestron X Cel had only one edge blackened element. A sharpie job on it, made a noticeable difference.
Thanks Jason, these seem like a good step up from supplied eyepieces. As these are so close in price to the BST Starguiders aka paradigms I'd be tempted to do a shootout if it wasn't for the conflict of interest (We sell the BST's). Cheers mate, good to see you :)
Hey Chris.. And you my friend.. Mmmm sounds like a interesting video .. I think you should go for it what's the worst that could happen lol.. These SV UW are really nice though for the money. Well impressed.. Take care pal :)
I just snatched the SV113 for 10 bucks on Amazon. It has a 65º field of view. Hope i won't be disappointed but couldn't resist buying it at that price.
I bought a full of these on your recomendation and I couldn't be happier, I had my plossl eyepieces for a few years and in fairness they were pretty good but the FOV and eye relief just makes things SOOOO much easier and comfortable. I can find stuff in half the time now. Go raibh míle maith agat, mo chara.👌
I just bought a skywatcher evostar 90 AZ3,first scope. 10mm and 25mm eye pieces. 25 mm is great 10mm a bit poop. Thinking of buying this 15 mm upgrade. Rother valley optics sell it as if it's their own brand. £39.99
Pairing the 6mm with the small svbony 0.5x focal reducer on a f4 reflector reduce the "scope induced" astigmatism. It is no longer a 6mm EP, rather a 8mm one but the quality of the off-axis really improved on a f4 reflector. Of the redline serie the 6mm is the only one having this behaviour . The pair (6mm+0,5x) can also be barlowed without loosing quality. Flocking the inside is also improving the quality of the EP. Great on Moon and planets. Worth a try
You have been a huge help to me. I'm brand new to this and my son loves the stars and the equipment I've chosen won't be "hobby killers" for him and he's 7 so that's important 😅
Thanks for this vid, I have just got into astrology, I thought it be a great thing to do with my daughters....and purchased the set of these....£144.00.on Amozen, just waiting on a clear night 🌙 to test it all out. Thanks again.
i have the full set of redline , absoulutely recommend the all beginners its f/p . the most i used are 20 and 15 i think for the moon viewing 15mm gives the best outcome . also have the svbony 32mm for the deep sky . i think from now on my first would be svbony for f/p
Thank you! This is my first eyepiece set. I've bought them and was amazed after original eyepieces. I have 114 mm, f900 mm reflector telescope and with svbony I can see full moon in 100x!

Ive wanted to try these. I don't know about these, but their gold banded 'ultra wide' are the same piece as the Orion Expanse. I dont know if Svbony is the actual maker, or if they source them, but a lot of their stuff is the same OEM as Orion/Sirius. Their plain black plossl is a Sirius Plossl.
I just bought a couple of these and I'm gonna try em through the baader bino viewer on my second telescope, which is a 1200m, 8" dob. Can't wait to see how it looks.
Good content again Jason, was looking for candidates for my binoviewers, these looks promising, bit worried about vignetting though, because of binos 18mm clear aperture. Cheers
Great video. I have the basic 10mm abd 25mm that came with my celestron 114mm. They seem cheap especially when compared to my meade plosser 9.7mm and 25mm. I think ill try this piece based on your recommendation. Thank you
I have been using a telescope for a few months. Could you please tell me if using a 2x Barlow lens will affect field of view? Carry on with the videos, I have learned a great deal from them.
Pretty sure my 6mm is one of these, but the branding is different. Got them at the recommendation of people online. Tbh, I could do with a better 20mm. But I do like how all my eyepieces feel different, as it makes it very easy to feel which is which in the dark
I'm a beginner with a new Orion 6 inch Dobsonian. I brought this full red line SVBONY set with and the SVBONY 21-7 mm zoom eyepiece to replace the 2 eyepieces that came with my scope. The wide field of view is exceptional. The clarity and light penetration is far superior to the included eye pieces. I never tried Televue or any of the other high end eyepieces but I must say that I am very pleased with these SVBONY eyepieces. The zoom eyepiece does not have the field of view that I need for searching the deep sky objects but was great for the moon and planets. Also, I like the Zoom for attaching to my cell in order to have multiple magnification options without having to detach the phone from the adaptor. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for the great videos.
Hello Jason, Nice Overview Of The Eyepieces. For 40 bucks, I think Its Really Good For What you get! The Images of Moon are Really Sharp, And M3 looks Nice and Bright!
At least I know how to say SVbony now! Hungarian? Although they seem to be made in the PRC? That's not a bad price and I was expecting you to say around £100.
well, due to the fact that the eye can see better, though only if the camera is bad. I shoot through these eyepieces on the camera of the xiaomi redmi not 10 phone, by serial shooting, or in video mode, in order to fix the details that the atmosphere blurs. and then, as a result of processing, it is possible to pull out details that are absolutely invisible to the eye. so you're wrong.
Yeah ok, so you do stacking, made it sound very very exceptional though 👏 😀 . I'm positive that what Jason referred to, was the fact that no photo will ever recreate the actual view. And yes, you can get rid of atmospheric turbulence with stacking, sharpen with registax wavelets. In DSO AP you can get pull more stars in with longer exposures, higher iso, get rid of noise too etc etc, nonetheless it will still be a 📸 However if your Huawei suddenly got update with better DR ( dynamic range ) than human eye, I'll be getting one myself 😆😆
Hello Vic, the aspheric range are great but if I had to choose one over the other it would have to be one of these. Better build quality and Optics at the end of the day.
Not much in it really.. With lower powered eyepieces it's more forgiving in the overall visual quality test but the UW is the winner of the two but only by a little .
Thanks! A couple bucks towards the next eyepiece :) Love the vids
Thank you so much my friend very much appreciated your a star.

Hello Doug. Yes looking forward to trying the others out only heard good things really.
Isn't SVBONY one of those manufacturers that just finds stuff that the patent has run out and mass produce multiple unrelated items?
My scope will accept 2" eyepieces. Is there a huge advantage to get the 2" over the 1.25?
Do you think this is better, or the eyepiece 62° with the golden ring is?
What would be *super* helpful is a direct comparison between this and the gold ring 66° UW (Orion Expanse), as they're comparable price and specs.

@@Astronurd I wasn't 🤣 however there isent really anything under £100 for an eyepiece that is 68°,and after the svbony what else could u say would be an upgrade, as I say there good for the money and a brilliant first set to get, but u do get what u pay for, there definitely not as the baader hyperions, I can't comment on how good the svbony r compared with other cheap eyepiece, as apart from the mead/celestron/and skywatcher eyepiece that came with the telescopes, iv not had anything other then baader 68 and 76°👍
I have the 15 mm from that series and I can confirm that you do get good views with it 🙂👍🏼
Hi Jason. Great review. I could not find these on Amazon. Can you provide the model numbers for each? I have several SV Bony lenses in my toolbox but that 20mm or 15mm may be a great add. Thanks in advance.
I purchased the 4 eyepiece kit on Amazon in the U.S. in November last year.
This is the product "header" description:
SVBONY Telescope Eyepiece Fully Multi Coated 1.25 inches Telescope Lens 66 Degree Ultra Wide Angle HD Telescope Accessory (6mm 9mm 15mm 20mm)
Item Model Number:
FUSN6003A
Amazon ASIN:
B01MR78I42
The model and ASIN may be different if purchased outside the USA, but the header should be very similar.
The Amazon page has links to the individual eyepieces included in the kit.
Hope this data helps.
They had a lightning sale on Amazon for these last December. I picked one up for around £20 and love it.
20 mm eyepiece is the sweet spot for any eyepiece line and works well on all telescopes. They do make a 26 mm in a two inch.
Great review Jason, i bought the 7mm to 24mm SV bony zoom and i am very pleased with it.
Hello, Jason;
Thank you for all you do.
I've got 10 eyepieces, 7 Plossls, 2 Huygens, & 1 SR 4mm that is not any good.
I'd like to try to fix my SR 4mm but it's pretty cheaply made, looks like it's glued together.
I'm on a tight budget because I'm on disability.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Hello Jon. Its usually the case with cheap high powered eyepieces that's why I always recommend (especially on a budget) a good quality barlow lens and avoid cheap high powered eyepieces. The lower powered plossl's you have will work great with a barlow and will also double your eyepiece collection with one purchase 😃
Ok...now it's time for Celestron to send you equipment for review.
That would be nice 😃
Does a wider angle give the same view as a low power with a lesser angle? So does a 20mm with 68 fov give the same kind of observation as a 25mm with a 50 fov?
Roughly speaking, first find the magnification of a given eyepiece with a given telescope by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. For example, a 1000mm telescope objective using a 20mm eyepiece will produce a magnification of 50X. Now take the apparent field of view of the eyepiece and divide it by the magnification and that will give you the true field of view. So, with the SV bony 20mm UW field eyepiece with the 68º apparent field of view, the true field one will see in the sky through the 1000mm scope would be 68/50 or roughly 1.36º. The 25mm eyepiece in your question would produce 40X on the 1000mm telescope, and with the 50º field of view eyepiece, the true field of view would be 50/40 = 1.25º.
I have several eyepieces SVBony from the 66° UW-line. I can absolutely recommend the 20mm, 15mm and 9mm - these eyepieces are simply gorgeous for it's price. Even on a telescope with f/5, they show a very good and sharp picture! 😎👌🔭 But the 6mm eyepiece is just terrible, unfortunately 😒 It gives such a disgusting picture that I immediately sold it. And then I heard the same thing about it from many astronomers I knew. I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but the picture through 9mm with a rather cheap 2x Barlow lens even better than just through this 6mm 🙄🤷♂
The 66° svbony with the yellow band, is the Orion Expanse. I dont have any, but of the eps Ive examined, Ive found the difference between the Svbony and Orion/Sirius is that the Orions have one or two elements edge blackened (usually the field lens and usually poorly) and the Svbony have none. That said, I was surprised to find my Celestron X Cel had only one edge blackened element. A sharpie job on it, made a noticeable difference.
Thanks Jason, these seem like a good step up from supplied eyepieces. As these are so close in price to the BST Starguiders aka paradigms I'd be tempted to do a shootout if it wasn't for the conflict of interest (We sell the BST's). Cheers mate, good to see you :)
Hey Chris.. And you my friend.. Mmmm sounds like a interesting video .. I think you should go for it what's the worst that could happen lol.. These SV UW are really nice though for the money. Well impressed.. Take care pal :)
They are £15 cheaper than the BST Starguiders
They are inferior to the BST Starguider range
I just snatched the SV113 for 10 bucks on Amazon. It has a 65º field of view. Hope i won't be disappointed but couldn't resist buying it at that price.
I bought a full of these on your recomendation and I couldn't be happier, I had my plossl eyepieces for a few years and in fairness they were pretty good but the FOV and eye relief just makes things SOOOO much easier and comfortable. I can find stuff in half the time now. Go raibh míle maith agat, mo chara.👌
Sir how much is the cost of a kit of SVbony
I just bought a skywatcher evostar 90 AZ3,first scope. 10mm and 25mm eye pieces. 25 mm is great 10mm a bit poop. Thinking of buying this 15 mm upgrade. Rother valley optics sell it as if it's their own brand. £39.99
Me over with a 130mm 650mm focal length f5 reflector and orio astrograph 10 f3.9 reflecter 😂
Pairing the 6mm with the small svbony 0.5x focal reducer on a f4 reflector reduce the "scope induced" astigmatism. It is no longer a 6mm EP, rather a 8mm one but the quality of the off-axis really improved on a f4 reflector.
Of the redline serie the 6mm is the only one having this behaviour .
The pair (6mm+0,5x) can also be barlowed without loosing quality.
Flocking the inside is also improving the quality of the EP.
Great on Moon and planets.
Worth a try
May very well be be Great Eyepieces.
BUT the SVbony aspherics have a 62 degree field.... 6 degreees is not a Huge field width increase.. Or is it?
You have been a huge help to me. I'm brand new to this and my son loves the stars and the equipment I've chosen won't be "hobby killers" for him and he's 7 so that's important 😅
SVbony or BST explorer?
Thanks! Great review!
Thanks for this vid, I have just got into astrology, I thought it be a great thing to do with my daughters....and purchased the set of these....£144.00.on Amozen, just waiting on a clear night 🌙 to test it all out.
Thanks again.
I orderd the 9 mm from ali express on sale just over £30 with tax Iv got the 26mm 2 inch sv154 70° as well from amazon that was £60
i have the full set of redline , absoulutely recommend the all beginners its f/p . the most i used are 20 and 15 i think for the moon viewing 15mm gives the best outcome . also have the svbony 32mm for the deep sky . i think from now on my first would be svbony for f/p
between 20 and 35 for nice dso wide fields is good :)
@@gothicm3rcy426 yeah i just love using 32mm it's so good
Thank you! This is my first eyepiece set. I've bought them and was amazed after original eyepieces. I have 114 mm, f900 mm reflector telescope and with svbony I can see full moon in 100x! With 20 mm eyepiece I can find M57 in Lyra without any problem, because angle of view accommodates a distance exactly between Sulafat and Sheliak. These eyepieces are really bright and good!
Ive wanted to try these. I don't know about these, but their gold banded 'ultra wide' are the same piece as the Orion Expanse. I dont know if Svbony is the actual maker, or if they source them, but a lot of their stuff is the same OEM as Orion/Sirius. Their plain black plossl is a Sirius Plossl.
I just bought a couple of these and I'm gonna try em through the baader bino viewer on my second telescope, which is a 1200m, 8" dob. Can't wait to see how it looks.
Good content again Jason, was looking for candidates for my binoviewers, these looks promising, bit worried about vignetting though, because of binos 18mm clear aperture.
Cheers
Great video. I have the basic 10mm abd 25mm that came with my celestron 114mm. They seem cheap especially when compared to my meade plosser 9.7mm and 25mm. I think ill try this piece based on your recommendation. Thank you
Thanks! Good work
I bought 'em too. 6, 9, 20. They are affordable cream puffs.
I have been using a telescope for a few months. Could you please tell me if using a 2x Barlow lens will affect field of view? Carry on with the videos, I have learned a great deal from them.
I bought it recently. waiting for clear sky. Thanks for the review
Pretty sure my 6mm is one of these, but the branding is different. Got them at the recommendation of people online.
Tbh, I could do with a better 20mm. But I do like how all my eyepieces feel different, as it makes it very easy to feel which is which in the dark
I'm a beginner with a new Orion 6 inch Dobsonian. I brought this full red line SVBONY set with and the SVBONY 21-7 mm zoom eyepiece to replace the 2 eyepieces that came with my scope. The wide field of view is exceptional. The clarity and light penetration is far superior to the included eye pieces. I never tried Televue or any of the other high end eyepieces but I must say that I am very pleased with these SVBONY eyepieces. The zoom eyepiece does not have the field of view that I need for searching the deep sky objects but was great for the moon and planets. Also, I like the Zoom for attaching to my cell in order to have multiple magnification options without having to detach the phone from the adaptor. I just wanted to share my thoughts. Thanks for the great videos.
Hello Harry. Your more than welcome. Enjoy your new telescope and welcome to the hobby my friend. :)
Did you end up buying the full set, as ive just stumbled across your channel and im considering these eye pieces.
This script is the same as the other SVbony review you did.
I have these 😊
Iv bought the sv bony aspheric 68° eye pices the ones you reviewed bought them to upgrade my stock celestron ones are they better then celestron?
Hello Jason, Nice Overview Of The Eyepieces. For 40 bucks, I think Its Really Good For What you get! The Images of Moon are Really Sharp, And M3 looks Nice and Bright!
Hello my friend. Thank you. Yes they are great value for money.. Really impressed🙂
Question you said its better view thru the eyepiece but in doing that can you still take picture or video?
What range is better quality… sv boney or the celestrion omni range
I found myself nodding in agreement to so many of the things you said here.
At least I know how to say SVbony now! Hungarian? Although they seem to be made in the PRC? That's not a bad price and I was expecting you to say around £100.
I wouldn't quote me on that, it's my guess of how I think it is pronounced, it's still a bit of a mystery even to me the proper pronunciation 😂
I have the whole kit and it’s great eyepieces. It really make the difference in the observations.
The regular ones it’s rarely used now.
Hello do they ship them to Denmark???
I have the 15mm svbony eye piece so much more to see I love it
Very good review. Thank you.
2 sets of these with a binoviewer is a lot of "wow" for the price.
$38 usd on Amazon at time of this post
Thanks! Good work
@mbstrong66 Thank you very much my friend. Very much appreciated.
well, due to the fact that the eye can see better, though only if the camera is bad. I shoot through these eyepieces on the camera of the xiaomi redmi not 10 phone, by serial shooting, or in video mode, in order to fix the details that the atmosphere blurs. and then, as a result of processing, it is possible to pull out details that are absolutely invisible to the eye. so you're wrong.
Yeah ok, so you do stacking, made it sound very very exceptional though 👏 😀 . I'm positive that what Jason referred to, was the fact that no photo will ever recreate the actual view. And yes, you can get rid of atmospheric turbulence with stacking, sharpen with registax wavelets. In DSO AP you can get pull more stars in with longer exposures, higher iso, get rid of noise too etc etc, nonetheless it will still be a 📸
However if your Huawei suddenly got update with better DR ( dynamic range ) than human eye, I'll be getting one myself 😆😆
Great info
Thank you 👍
Paid £25 for 20 and £30 for the 9
Thanks Jason, great Video as always.
Thanks for the review. 👍🏻
Excellent channel.
Are they the same principle as tmb? Forgive my lack of knowledge Jason!
Hello Steven, sorry pal, I'm not quite sure what you mean by tmb? So no, forgive me for being a bit slow 😂
Tmb are planetary eyepieces with a 58 degree view.they seem popular presume svbony are their competitor!
I have the 9mm, very pleased with it
Hi Jason. How do they compare to the aspheric svbony range? Have the 23mm.
Hello Vic, the aspheric range are great but if I had to choose one over the other it would have to be one of these. Better build quality and Optics at the end of the day.
Update Jason.got the goldline 20mm long edge relief.very nice.also got the 18mm 72° but wouldn't recommend as short eye relief.clear skies Vic
I just bought the 15, I'm anxious to try it out and see how it stands up to my vintage Japan made Celestrons and my vintage Vixen.
How does it compare to cheaper SvBony 23mm 62° eyepiece?
Not much in it really.. With lower powered eyepieces it's more forgiving in the overall visual quality test but the UW is the winner of the two but only by a little .
