WO SPL eye piece
Hi Glob
I have been using the WO 6mm eyepiece with my iOptron and the GSO diagonal. The GSO diag is far better than the one that was supplied with the scope. The ep is brilliant for this scope, good eye relief and contrast.
It is about at the limit for this scope ie 6mm with 2x barlow as anything more
is just fuzzy. I was hoping to pick up a 3mm LP ep due to the cheaper cost compared to the WO version for comparison and complete my ep travel set for this scope.
The apparent field is less than other eyepieces, but for planetary work of no consequence.
The 6mm ep is great for lunar observations, and I have the 12mm WO for better contrast on nebula.
You will not go wrong trying these on your scope as they are much better for planetary viewing than the generic plossels.
regards
Alex
