After rediscovering astronomy about 18 months ago and acquiring the Evolution 8” SCT, I decided to buy a mix of good to premium quality eyepieces. I started off in a rational frame of mind and after much enjoyable research I determined that I only really needed around 4 Ep's to work in the SCT, in the range from 9mm to 35mm. Famous last words! I don’t seem to have been afflicted by aperture fever, but eyepiece fever is another matter. As a result, 18 months down the track, I have assembled the following collection (some full price, some on special (here or OS) and some second hand):
7.5mm Takahashi LE
8mm LVW
9mm DeLite
10mm XW
14mm Delos
17.3mm Delos
22mm LVW
30mm Takahashi LE
30mm 2” 80 degree generic (clone of the moonfish / Prostar)
42mm LVW
2x Televue barlow
I’ve also got some back-ups that I use instead for public outreach (and in the lighter weight Skywatcher scopes) being the 9mm Fujiyama HD OR, 11mm and 14mm ES 82’s and the 30 and 42mm GSO’s.
I think that will do me…… but there is always the 30mm ES 82 that I have read about……… and the Morpheus range …… and the fabled Naglers …… and the ……
