Hi all,
I had a great evening under the stars yesterday, but would like more magnification. Now I'm not at this point about to spend hundreds of dollars on the best eyepieces, but something that makes things bigger than 30x as the 25mm one I have in conjunction with my telescope (750mm focal length) would be A Good Thing.
If I were to get say 2 additional eyepieces, what would be my best bet for:
(a) focal lengths; do I go the whole hog and get a 4mm which would seem to be the highest useful magnification with my telescope, plus something in-between like maybe a 12.5mm? Or would I be best served with some lower power eyepieces (as I imagine with lower magnification, one gets a wider field of view, so there's a trade-off between magnification and how easy it is to find what you're after)?
(b) brands to look for with reasonable quality without spending too much post-Christmas money - especially considering I have a new iMac to buy in a few weeks
Thanks very much in advance for any and all suggestions.
