[4.1" (10.5 cm)] This is my first 2" EP and my first 82 degree FOV EP. The view of the double cluster (I could see both in the FOV with my Meade LS-8) was simply spectacular. I was a little anxious about spending close to $300 for an EP. However it is definitely worth the money. 5

[1.64 lb] I purchased this coma corrector after reading online reviewer's recommendations. I'm using it on a 8" f/3.9 imaging Newtonian and after getting the spacing correct I have pinpoint stars across the field. I would recommend this corrector for anyone imaging with a fast scope, you will not be disappointed. 5

[1.5 lb (0.7 kg)] Ordered from USA to Brisbane on a Monday and received Friday via DHL in time for dark skies on Saturday. WOW Very light weight but solid. Performed well with Explore Scientific + Tele Vue eye pieces on my Celestron 11 and would highly recommend. 5
