I don't agree with Alexander. IMO the Hyps perform well in fast Newts for their price point. Issues like blackout are somewhat subjective. I don't have a problem there. Still, for planetary viewing I would not recommend them; they're okay, but you can do better.

Get a Pentax XF 8.5mm. I think there is a used one on IceTrade or get a new one here: http://www.digidirect.com.au/binocul...epiece_125inch (Note that these guys don't always have stuff in stock and you may be waiting a while if you buy online.)
It's as good as it gets near this focal length if you want decent eye relief and FOV.
