5mm-ish eyepiece options for 8" SCT?
I all,
I'm looking for people's thoughts on different eyepieces in the 5mm focal length size for use in an 8" SCT.
I have two particular requirements :
A, comfortable eye relief, that being around 20mm;
B, AFOV 58deg to 72deg.
AFOV in 80deg or larger I find eye placement too tricky/critical to be comfortable with my constant to and fro from my sketch pad. But, I am happy to be shown an EP that can prove me wrong! I am happy to keep an open mind with this point.
I do realize that 5mm is a big ask for regular use in a SCT. I currently have a 5mm Hyperion, which I have to say I am happy with, even though I may only get to thrash it once or twice a year. But, on these occasions I sometimes feel I could get a little sharper image... I also have an 8mm LVW which has that focal length covered, so an EP in that fl isn't sought.
Looking for options.
Mental.
