Luminos 7 mm eyepiece with a 1.25-inch barrel normally $254 (Amazon) - 295 (other stores)
https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B005G3P092

Was looking for upgrade eye pieces. I ordered the 23mm 2" luminos at $200 (instantly jumped to 265) but noticed some of the other luminos on sale are significantly cheaper than other stores.

I'm no expert on these and some mixed reviews about (but they seem to compare to EPs that are double the price). I felt it'll be better than starter EP for 10" dob.

Features & details:
82 degree Field - Wide FOV for high and low magnifications
Retractable eyecups - Ultra-low profile for eyeglass wearers
Parfocal eyepiece - Little or no focusing is needed when changing from low to high power
Threaded barrels - Accept 1.25-inch Celestron thread-in filters
Polished and hard anodized aluminum barrel - Scratch resistant and high end appearance

  It's for a telescope (the optical piece you look into) if you got this far and have no idea what's going on still. I suppose there are also binoculars you can put these in.

    ….and yet somehow I missed that until I read your comment! Thanks.

  Thanks OP, I've been waiting for these deals.

  Do you know if there is a significant difference in Barlow lens luminos "Celestron 93436 Luminous 2-Inch 2.5X Barlow Lens (Silver)" & "Celestron 93529 X-Cel LX 1.25-Inch 2X Barlow Lens (Black)"?

    Apart from the slight magnification difference I don't know, am pretty new to this stuff. Also interested in the answer, especially compared to the cheaper skywatcher/celestron barlows available.

    Oh the 2.5X luminous Barlow is a 2" and the x-Cel LX is 1.25"

  Ordered! Thanks!

  I'm still using the home brand eyepieces on my dobsonian. I got the 7mm and 15mm, 2 for the price of one.

  Not a bad price. Eye relief is 12mm FYI

  For those looking for longer focal length the 23mm (2") is back down in price. $200 but only 5 available.

  It's getting up towards 1kg though.

  Bought one, I guess now I'll need to buy a telescope to use it.

  How are these compared to svbony?

    Unsure, I had already ordered a 6mm svbony from AliExpress so didn't buy this deals 7mm eyepiece.
