    Comments about Galileo 26mm Wide Angle Astroscopic Eyepiece - 1.25 inch Format:

    This Eyepiece from a company that you don't hear that much about anymore, is very good for the price. I have a Zhumell 10" DOB, and I didn't have any decent quality lower power 1.25 EPs.

    I saw this one and decided to try it. I have to say, that's it's very good quality for this price. The field of view is really wide just like it says. I didn't notice any distortion's or any other on this. It feels solid and pretty well made.

    If you need a low power ep, this is a good one for this price. get one before the are gone.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
