for solar system targets you should be able to support a 5mm eyepiece, giving 130x magnification. for your scope the BST explorer eyepieces are good quality, they are not to televue standards - but are close to 90% of the edge views of something like a radian. they can be had from telescopes-astronomy
which conveniently for you is located in SA, they are around the $80 mark. if you want to check reviews google AT paradigm [in US they are badged diff.] |
Hi Daniel.
I had a look on that website, but it's really hard to navigate. Where did you find the cost for the BST eyepieces?
I find that the 10mm is a little bit difficult to focus with. I'm not sure if it's a standard thing, but one teeny tiny bump of the scope and it gets a little fuzzy.
