Hi all,

I understand there is an eyepiece forum, but I can't understand a lot of the jargon so i am posting in here, hope thats cool.

I have an 8 inch bintel Dob, purchased at Christmas, has two plossel eye pieces, Its all working fine and I am loving discovering the sky. of course i already want to upgrade my gear!
I borrowed a mates eyepiece the other night and the difference was amazing, i think it was 30mm, but it wasn't a plossel. It seemed clearer and had much less distortion near the edges. (He wasn't sure what type it was)

My question, what would be a good type of eyepiece to upgrade too? are there any that work better with large Newtonians, I am reading about naglers and Meades, but i am unsure if they are brand names or design types.

i have a very limited budget and am currently viewing happily, but i would like some info so if I ever stumble across a decent eyepiece in a pawn shop or on the trade forum here I can pounce!

Hope you can help you have provided amazing info to date.

cheers
Steve
