Skywatcher 20mm UltraWide Okular (1,25 Zoll) schwarz
Eyepieces with claimed 66 AFOV
They have generally good reviews from
users in the UK using it on medium&slow focal ratio scope.
Not recommended to buy eyepiece alone in the order as the first item will have higher shipping cost, the next few equal or smaller item will be much lower in shipping.
If buying the 9mm ontop of other item you are interested in, it is an additional SGD 62. Different focal length have a small 1-2 euro price difference.
On ebay these eyepieces sell for about SGD $69 and another SGD$27 for shipping from UK to SG.
