Widefield EP on a budget.
Until now my motley collection of ep's has served me well in various scopes f8 and above. Recently I bought a used 8" f5 Skywatcher dob, a great little scope and I am enjoying viewing with it.
The 20mm and 15mm GSO Superviews that I have provide sharp views only for about 50% of the FOV and I understand that this is common for a scope of this f ratio. My interests lie mostly in DSO's and I would appreciate any suggestions on ep's that will improve the FOV situation.
Research in the forums indicates a strong preference for Naglers and Panoptics and I am sure that these are amazing, they are however outside my budget and it is difficult to justify this standard of ep for a $400.00 scope.
I have NZ$400.00 to spend and I would like to buy 1 or 2 1.25" ep's in the 65deg AFOV range, am I dreaming....?
Any suggestions regarding type and FL would be great.
