The 2-group 4-element Plossl design of Vixen's NPL Series eyepieces offers clear and flat images with good colour correction. The 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and 40mm models feature twist-up eyecups. All have fully-multi-coated optics. Affordable eyepieces that offer a noticeable improvement over generic Plossls supplied with most telescopes. 

Threaded barrel accepts 1.25" filters and features a 'safety undercut' to prevent the eyepiece falling out of the focuser.

30 and 40mm: due to the 1.25" barrel size the 30 and 40mm eyepieces show almost the same area of sky so, for visual use, the 30mm is the better choice. The 40mm is however useful when a compact camera is positioned over the eyepiece for afocal photography. 

Note to spectacle wearers: Plossl eyepieces with 15mm and longer focal lengths are good choices for spectacle wearers but for shorter focal lengths the Celestron XCel or William Optics SPL series eyepieces have greater eye-relief so are better suited.

Excellent for the money
  -  Andrew

My 15mm NPL eyepice was my first purchase to complement the 10mm and 25mm eyepieces supplied with my scope. For a relatively small amount of money it very quickly showed up the failings of those 'supplied with' eyepieces. Over the last couple of years my collection has grown to include much more expensive offerings from Baader and Televue but this humble plossl still holds its place. I now find it particularly useful for splitting double stars, where its sharp contrasty image is a real benefit.

If you're looking for that first step up from the eyepieces which came with your scope or you're just on a budget then I can't recommend these highly enough.
