M. Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It seems I have a fair few options here. I like long eye relief and the huge window that the Hyperion has, but not to say I wouldn't consider a different brand here. What is the next step up in noticeable quality? Or, will the Luminos, TS optics or Orion be a suitable choice? What is your best 12/13 mm at hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) I prefer to stick to one brand and with that in mind there is nowt wrong with the 13mm Hyperion 68° at £99 If not then there is the 82° Explore Scientific 14mm for £115, or the 13mm Skywatcher SWA 70° at £86, or the 12mm Vixen NLV 50° at £90. If you want a step up then you are looking at Televue, 100° Explore Scientific, or Pentax but then expect to pay over £200.

M. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I do like the skywatcher brand, they seem to make well priced quality products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 Considering I have the 10mm Hyperion, I don't have much experience to say it's awesome, but I am impressed with it. I reckon I will most likey buy the Hyperion 13mm in the hope that I can also convert to a 12/11mm too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Ethos 13mm is my best/favourite eyepiece in that range. Not tried it in the sct yet for obvious reasons - but must give it a go sometime. It's nice in the 115 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
