The telescope's mirrors are very good indeed. Showpiece objects like the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades, Double Cluster, and the Lagoon Nebula are all sharp and clear through the 17-mm Explorer II eyepiece (26x). Although the 6-mm Explorer II (75x) could resolve a few individual stars around the edges of the Hercules Globular Cluster (M13), the eyepiece's inherently short eye relief, which forces you to get very close to see the image, made viewing uncomfortable. I would have preferred if Orion charged a little more and included their 10-mm Explorer II eyepiece and a 2x Barlow lens. The 10-mm eyepiece would produce 45x alone and 90x with the Barlow. Not only would that combination magnify images a little more, it would also be easier to view through than the 6-mm eyepiece.
