Hi guys ... could anyone recommend a good brand/make of eye pieces that would suit the watcher 200p ..? The standard ones wither scope are ok but the images become fuzzy as it nears the outer edge ..

I use BST EP's from Sky's the Limit, only £41 each and really good value for money, unless money is no object!!

An 8mm and a 18mm seem good replacements?

Baader Hyperion 8-24mm MK III Clickstop Zoom eyepiece is a great all in one eyepiece. I use mine with my 200p. Fantastic clarity and you can find what your looking for in 24mm mode then when found,simply turn the wheel and zoom in :)

I would suggest trying a few out at a dark site meet to get an idea of what different makes will offer.

Definately see if you can use some before purchasing, but in order of increasing cost (and quality,)

BST Explorer (£41)

Celestron X-Cel LX (£60)

S/H Televue Radian (£100 ish)

Would be my suggestions. A lot of people (I used to) use the Baader Hyperions (£100) which have a couple of cool features like adaptors that turn one EP into three varying focal lengths, and DSLR direct attachments.

I put them above BST but below Celestron for edge correction and constrast.

EPs are a very user specific thing, what works for one does not always work for another :)
