Yes that 15mm is a good one , but also take a look at the ' SuperViews 'from either Andrews or Bintel , these are still the best eyepieces for the price bar none .
I have personally tested a SV 15mm against my 15mm TelVue Panoptic ( a rare eyepiece ) , the 20mm SV against my 19mm Panoptic and the 30mm SV against my 27mm Panoptic and you would never think that these SV's are 1/10th the price of the TelVue's.
These 3 are 1/2 the price of one Panoptic
.
These perform to an easy 90%of the much more expensive eyepieces and at 68* they have a nice field of view .
Highly recommended

ps. I only grabbed the 3 SV's mentioned here 2nd hand from the classified's here to do a side by side in all my scopes with the TelVue's and I was very impressed , since sold sadly tho .

Good to know I’m wasting my time with some of the galaxies, i will definitely check out your posts on small scope observing.
Will i get a better view of mars with my scope? Or is a bright star the best ill get?
Pretty good feeling when you do find a certain object, or you do start to recognise constellations, Scorpius blew me away when i realised it was right in front of me, and the size of it!
Never realised I would have this much fun observing |
