Need a medium-high power eyepiece for 8" dob
Hi guys,
I recently picked up a 21mm Stratus for my 8" f/6 dob, and it's great for low-power work, but I'm now looking at getting a quality mid-to-high-power eyepiece to replace the GSO Plossls that came with the 'scope. I need something that's good at planetary work, and preferably something that can also give good contrasty views of smaller DSOs from my suburban backyard.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking at the T6 Naglers at the moment (maybe a 9mm or 13mm), mainly so I can get high magnification without having to nudge the dob every five seconds, though this soon in to the hobby I'm a little hesitant to pay nearly $350 for one eyepiece. Are they really worth it? Do they Barlow well? Any other options I should consider?
