This is a nifty little item - the Baader Q-Turret, with all four eyepieces and 2.25x Barlow.  You just put this in your focuser, and boom, you're all set for a night of planetary or high-powered viewing.  Note that the specs below do not include information regarding the 32mm Plossl; however, note that it is definitely included.  

The eyepieces are only in good to very good condition.  While they are clean and clear, the coatings are spotted on all 4 of the eyepieces and Barlow.  See the photos.  The bodies of the eyepieces are clean, and, of course, the turret moves smoothly from one eyepiece to the next.  It comes with all of its original accessories:  all of the dust caps, winged eyeguards for each eyepiece, in its original decorated metal foam-lined case.

The Baader Classic Q-Eyepiece Set includes 6 mm, 10 mm, and 18 mm Classic Orthos, and 32mm Plossl, each of which have rubber folding eyeshields, which provide eyelash clearance, because of an inset volcano-top shape. This unique design delivers comfort as well as providing a clearer view. The Q-turret is a nice addition which makes it easy to use various focal length eyepieces, even when inserted into a diagonal. The concave dished compact shape and forward field stop positions of these Baader Orthos makes this possible. The net result is a complete range of magnifications instantly available at your fingertips. Note that other manufacturer's eyepieces or other optical designs may not be parfocal.
