Hi Lubnd

I have the Vixen ED102S, their older 102mm F9 refractor and although I do relatively little visual observing, I have found that my most used eyepieces for this ‘scope are a Pentax XW14 and a recently acquire Panoptic 24mm.

I would strongly recommend attending a local star party where you can get the opportunity to perhaps try a few different eyepieces. I have found that owners are more than happy to lend them out for a few minutes, explain their strengths and weaknesses and recount their experiences.

You’ll enjoy the 103 – Vixen make superb ‘scopes. Whilst it’s not a light bucket, it is a wonderful all purpose ‘scope. I’ve had mine for almost 10 years now and it is definitely a keeper for its versatility and it never goes out of fashion and is maintenance free.

Cheers

Dennis
