i must admit, and this is where i am gonna get flamed, i have yet to look through an eyepiece that made me go 'wow!", and i have used many eyepieces such as TeleVue, Vixen high end, Pentax etc. sure the more expensive ones had a much wider field of view, and where more crisp to a greater degree of the edge, but by far for me the biggest factor is seeing that affects the image, thats not me saying they are no good, far from, i suppose what i am saying is "i find it alot harder to make out the difference between a reasonably good eyepiece to an excellent eyepiece, although i find it far easier to tell the difference between a reasonably good one and a shocking bad one"
as and for buying, the only thing that i would sacrafice for aperture would be portability, the eyepieces that come with most synta scopes etc, is perfectly adequate to get going on.
and now, to pre-empt the thread, i will supply a template for all further replies.
Ahhh!!! but you should try .......... type/brand of eyepiece they are way better than anything and make an ordinary telescope excellent
