Recommend me an eyepiece


Craig

Recommended Posts

I've fallen in love with the 2inch 32mm eyepiece I got off Martyn (Martyn, I still need to pay you for it!).

With my 2x barlow I can convert this to 16mm and I'm very pleased with the views.

What would folks recommend as my next eyepiece? I love lunar but I think the 32mm (with/without barlow) sorts that nicely. I also love hunting for DSOs.

Budget... Let's say £150 ideal, £200 at a push.

P.S. Not looking for a zoom eyepiece. :)

So you have 300mm F5 1500mm FL dob

Your 32mm gives x47 with the x2 barlow becomes a 16mm to give x94

So you need a 2" 20mm eyepiece I think.

Off the top of my head the only good 2" eyepiece in that price bracket is the 19mm Celestron Axiom. Unless you want Nagler eyepieces.

This will give you x79 and with your x2 barlow it will become a 9.5mm and give x158

So you will have a:

32mm, 19mm, 16mm, 9.5mm.

x47, x79, x94, x158
