What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this lense kit for my daughter. The case is well built and the dense foam inside means i have no worries if i were to drop it. There is a bit of extra space in there for another couple of eyepieces.
This new set is noticeably better quality, heavy metal and with caps on both ends. The packaging is excellent. It's perfect for figuring out what you like.
Plössl eyepieces come with a 2x barlow lens. The barlow is a higher magnification than the 3x amazon ones. The 32mm eyepiece is great for initially spotting the objects.
Cons
Small focal length plossl lenses are a bad choice. The problem with the eye relief is that you'll strain your eye using them since you need to be very close to the eyepiece to see through it.

I figured the lenses would be better than the ones that came with my celestron telescope

If you wear glasses the smaller lenses will be pretty much useless to you because of the terrible eye relief

Overall im quite happy with the purchase for the price paid great for starting out but if you think youre only going to use one you may be better off spending a bit more money on a single higher quality ep
