oldfruit Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I am currently using an 8 inch F5 Newtonian reflector and was wondering do any of you have any suggestions for a good low power (25 or 32mm) eyepiece with a 60 degree or larger field of view. I am a little confused as reviews i have read for a lot of eyepieces say that a lot do not perform at their best in fast scopes like mine. I would be looking to spend anthing up to £80. Any advice appreciated. Many thanks, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I would suggest you have a look for something 2", it will be a better performer at that focal length of eyepiece. It's a bigger bit of glass to get maximum amount of light through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) EPs are a very personal thing, you have to see what level of abberation you are happy with. Panaview 32mm fits in your budget and will work "well" : some can tolerate the abberation in the outer FOV though, some can't Edited May 18, 2012 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Best thing to do is get together with the chaps at Gibraltar point and have a look through a few 2" ep's. Hopefully it will give you an idea what you can expect to see and the level of abberation you can ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
