At the moment I have a Ultima 24mm excellent even on an F5,
second, a Sirius optics widescan 111, 16mm another excellent e/p but it only just reaches focus ( inward ) with the F5 and with a barlow forget it!!
The other e/p is the 2" 26mm that came with the LB, 2/3 of view is good, last third affected by mild coma.
I would like to have a good range from 40mm to about 7mm, taking into account I have a Meade 2X barlow- 1 1/4". Thanks, John.  |
John,
Many people will come up with this or that eyepiece. And there is a lot of good advice.
At the end of the day for your night time observing with your 12" F5 scope a 27mm Panoptic and 10 mm Pentax XW will serve you well for life.(I'm sure I said that somewhere before
)
You may look at many other eyepieces, and some will say no look at this or that. Please do so. But I'm positive in the end the two I have mentioned will the two you will want.
