Barlow + Eye Pieces

Here is my current list of eyepieces, lenses and filters.

My favourite at the moment is (not pictured) the 14mm Meade UWA s4000, my only premium eyepiece. it's a magnificent eyepiece but very heavy! Some counterweights are needed when viewing close to the horizon as the heavy eyepiece will tip the scope forward.

ND96 Moon Filter

  • 1.25" DGM Optics NPB Narrowband Filter. Used to increase the contrast of nebula by letting only certain wavelengths of light through.
  • 1.25" GSO ND96 13% transmission neutral density filter. Used for viewing the moon without ruining your dark adaptation, and good for splitting close double stars where one is much brighter than the other.
