Hi all,
Just to put in my 2 cents worth.
Re: " A $50 eyepiece in a $5,000 telescope gives you a $50 view
A $5,000 eyepiece in a $50 telescope gives you a $50 view
A $500 eyepiece in a $5,000 telescope gives you a million $$$$ view "
Price may not be a good indicator as to how well a 'scope/eyepiece might perform.
One needs to consider the f# of the optics. A $65 orthoscopic will give one million dollar views with a good F10 newtonian (say $2000). A $1000 Nagler of long focal length may give terrible views with an F4 16" newtonian because of the normal off axis aberrations - the larger the newtonian mirror the greater will be the coma.
