Lithium Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So, i have had a run out with the new scope when i have been able to recently due to the UK appearing to be in a never-ending run of cloud and rain :(Anyway, my plan in the next months is to invest in some eyepieces for my Evo 8HD. I have the supplied standard ones from celestron which could definately do with replacing but from looking around there does appear to be a plethora of manufacturers each supplying a number of models.Was wondering what people were using as their "goto" eyepieces? I have seen some people use a 8mm-24mm zoom a lot but they can be pricey? I would want a Pentax but may go for a Baader....Anything to definately go for ...or avoid? A hidden gem somewhere that is modest in price but out-performs more expensive versions? Cheers Lithium PS. the moon from 2 nights ago. i never thought you could get a decent shot through the eyepiece from a smart phone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevS Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Recently I have bought a OVL 16mm Nirvana-ES UVA (82). Very good eyepiece. Compares very well with a friends TV Nagler (17mm). Virtually no breakdown even at the edge of the field. The TV, obviously to my eyes at least, has better overall definition but I consider it's not 5 x times the cost better.

Philip R Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I do like the TeleVue 13mm Nagler... I have a 'type 1' & 'type 6'... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin100 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The BST StarGuider ED eyepieces from First Light Optics are a good option at just under £50 a go. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
