Eyepieces for my 8" f4 newt.
So I have been getting my new scope together and it is awesome, a major step up from the loaner scope I had been using. But I am wondering if my eyepieces that I bought to play around with are going to be okay with this very fast scope.
From some basic reading I have discovered that the very short F-ratio (F4) is going to be hard on eyepieces, or is going to show cheaper EP flaws easier (blurred edges, difficult to get sharp, distortion)
A lot of the info/forum discussions seems to be from around 10 years ago. Have eyepieces started to be redesigned to work better with the now more common faster scopes? Or is it still just the more top-shelf EP's that are suited to visual work in these scopes aimed at imaging?
Like all things budget is always a consideration and look forward to your responses.
Cheers,
Sean
