Is Wide FOV worth the money?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to pick up 3 eps before Christmas: Lunar/Planetary, Middle magnification (12-18mm) and something around 25mm.
My question is about the value of paying for the wide FOV. Would an 8mm TV plossl have as good an image as something like an 82 degree Explore Scientific 8.8mm? Equally, would the 11mm TV plossl have as good an image as the 11mm ES 82? And staying with TV, would the 8mm Delos have a better image than the 8mm TV plossl? If I don't mind the 50 degree field and a bit tighter eye relief, would the plossl perform as well as some of the really expensive eye pieces?
Of the 3 eps I want to get, I think I can only afford one with the wide FOV so I assumed the 25mm would be a panoptic or something like that. So I'm aiming to keep costs down with the other 2.
I've seen a second hand Takahashi LE 7.5 for $200 posted. Has anyone used this eyepiece?
I appreciate any advice.
Herschel.
