Hi Folks

Most nights I'm actually imaging with this scope but am wanting to do more with it visually - especially viewing nights with my School's Astronomy Club and a few Scout Groups. So viewing targets would be the Moon, planets, double stars and some of the more obvious nebulae like M42 and NGC3372.

I have a 2" 28mm Plossl that came with the scope - which I like as a 'finder' eyepiece. The other Plossls I have are a 15mm and a 5 mm - neither of which inspire me!

A good friend suggested I look into the Vixen LVW range of eyepieces and suggested that 22 mm and 13 mm would probably suit my needs (that was about a year ago and now these eyepieces are no longer available!)

Would the Explore Scientific 68o range of eyepieces be worthy replacements (price and quality) for the Vixens. Televue eyepieces, for example, are way beyond what I can afford!

Any advice would be much appreciated - and I hope that I've given you enough specific detail to do so.

Thank you all in advance.

Paul
