Hi Guys,

Recently upgraded to a 2nd hand 8 inch newt on an EQ5 and want to buy an eyepiece with higher power for planets and the moon.

Already own 2 Ep's that are garbage and 2/3 ep's that I find excellent. So willing to spend around $100 (2nd hand) for the quality.

The Tele Vue 32 mm is by far the best. Also have a 15mm Vixen LV but don't find this as good. The others are a no name 6mm plossl (crap) and a bintel 12mm plossl (crap).

Strangely enough a 25 year old Huygens 20mm gives me best views of the moon but it's a .965 and a pain to screw in all the attachments need to fit.

So far leaning towards a University Optics ortho in perhaps the 7 or 9mm.

Am I on the right track? Are there better options in my budget?

thanks guys,
Trav
