Hi all
I am a bit of a newby to the astronomy world. I have recently bought a Skywatcher 200mm Newtonian on an EQ5 GOTO mount. It came with a 2inch 28mm skywatcher eyepiece and 2 cheap plossls. I have been reading around and the reviews for the Baader Hyperion 8 -24mm zoom appear to be pretty impressive. I thought that this may be a good option even though the cost is quite high, it covers a wide range of focal lengths and would mean that I wouldn't have to get many other eyepieces.
I would be grateful of any opinions out there regarding this.
Cheers
Chris
