Which eyepiece would you consider to be the "sleeper" in your
collection (i.e. the one that doesn't retail for much money but is one
heck of a performer)? I think the Antares W70 8.6mm is mine.


The University Optics orthoscopic, in either the original or HD version. I
tested them both against some very big name planetary eyepieces a couple
of months ago and found them to have only a tiny amount more flare, with
comparable resolution and contrast--at 1/3 to 1/4 the price. Their barlow
is also very highly rated, but it's closer in price to the bigger names.

Ditto. Best bang for the buck out there.
