Eyepiece Suggestion

[leon]

Hi Guys

I am considering getting a 2" EP for use with the Takahashi 106 F/5.0.

For visual with this scope the Extender Q 1.6x will give it a focal length of about 800mm.

I would be looking for a medium power EP somewhere from, say, 17mm to 22 mm.

Any suggestions, i would be considering something with good eye relief and reasonable FOW.

Thank you for your comments

Leon.

You should definitely try a 17 or 22mm nagler t4.

Or go for something in between in price like the 17mm or 22mm Vixen LVW

Thank you for your response I will do some research on these EP's

I have the 17mm LVW and 22mm Nagler and they are both very nice, very comfortable eyepieces. One of the experienced observers here also gave the 21mm Denkmeier a glowing report http://www.frontieroptics.com.au/

Hi
Regarding the Denkmeier 21mm and 14mm eyepieces, check out my thread on Eyepeices between Hyperion/Stratus and Nagler/Pentax XW for John's (AusAstronomer) comments. After getting my new scope, I'm going to get one of these eyepieces.

Thanks Pete, i'll do that.
