BBC Sky at Night Magazine in their June Issue have awarded Vixen's LVW-8mm Lanthanum Eyepiece Overall Winner in their Group Test of High-Power Eyepieces priced at under £270.

Orion Optics are pleased to be the Supliers of this and the excellent range of Vixen Eyepieces.

The review said . . . "Vixen has an excellent reputation for quality astronomical optics and this Japanese-manufactured ocular does not disappoint . . . The 65 degree field of view will be enough for most users, but the real advantage of this ocular is how comfortable it is to use, even if you're wearing glasses. The Vixen LVW range boasts a long 20mm of eye relief . . .other pricey eyepieces boasted 15mm or 16mm of eye relief, but we found that they came nowhere near the Vixen. If you place observing comfort at the top of your list this eyepiece will never disappoint . . ."

We are pleased to add yet another Sky at Night "Gold Medal" to our collection!

Confirmation that Orion Optics are only accociated with the very best astronomical eyepieces.

In their conclusion Sky at night said . . . "Ultimately, the high power eyepiece you use most will be the one that delivers maximum eye comfort and crisp views. In this respect the Vixen and Pentax are a joy to use . . . Vixen gets our vote because the eye relief is exceptional and the Pentax too expensive."
