Hi all,
I've been stuck at home due to the severe storms in Sydney over the last few days, and as with all good hobbyist's I've been pondering ways to upgrade my astronomy gear. There also happens to be a lot of good gear on the classifieds at the moment which leads me to my question:
Is the 55mm TV plossl a good wide field choice for my LX200gps 10"?
I've read plenty of good reviews on the eyepiece being used in slow scopes such as mine and it's in a reasonable price range.
At this point in time I have the 6.3xFR, TV 2x PM 2", the Eye opener and a couple of bandwidth filters to use in conjunction with this eyepiece( if possible). In time I intend to get a 4x PM to use with the DSLR. Can these items all be used with this 55mm and still achieve a high quality view?
I'd like my kit to be as flexible as possible without wasting a load of money on dozens of eyepieces I'll rarely use. A little basic imaging with my DSLR, plenty of planetary/lunar viewing from my terrace and the odd bit of dark site use when the situation allows would be enough.
I already have various entry level eyepieces so I'm not desperate to get something today. There's the 8mm Stratus, 12.5mm edge on, 30mm Superview with camera projection and the 42mm Superview to keep me content for the time being.
Thanks for any advice. Hopefully, there's enough information about my situation and expectations to get the ball rolling. If there is anything missing let me know.
Ross.
