I must stress, I need to buy these from the UK - as Shipping from the USA is too expensive!
I've been told by a few people to get these two lenses for my telescope, and need a retailer in England...
- GSO 30mm Super-View
- Orion Edge-On Planetary 6mm
Thank you!
US $34.99
Im not real sure but you can try here-

These are imported from Taiwan under various names by various companies. The GSO 30mm Super-View is made by Guan Sheng and used to be available in the UK from Moonfish, but their web site seems to be broken, so I don’t know whether they’re still in business. I believe the Edge-On eyepieces are actually made by William Optics, and also are often rebranded. Incidentally, I have tested both these eyepieces (actually the 5mm Edge-On Planetary) and they are really excellent.
Might try searching under “UK telescope shops” -
