My LVW 8 mm is arriving late next week hopefully. I will gladly let Geoff use it for you. But when!! Who knows this time of year?
But I think as others have said you need a 6 mm or 5 mm. I only thought you would like an 8.8 mm to match your 14 mm.
If it’s just a planetary eyepiece you are after then I think you need 6 or 5 mm as I said.
I have spoken to a few people who know about eyepieces and who have been observing for a long time. They had no hesitation recommending the 8mm LVW to me.
For me the 7 mm was a bit too much magnification. But this would be the opposite for you.
What about a 6 mm Radian?
