Hello Stargazers,

Quote:
Whilst I haven't used all the focal lengths I can tell you that the 14mm S5000 Meade UWA is pretty average when used in a fast newtonian. In fact I don't rate it as good an eyepiece as the 13mm Orion Stratus/Baader Hyperion, both of which cost a lot less.
Having compared the 14mm UWA sereis 5000 eyepiece to some other wideangles
(13mm Nagler, LVW, Hyperion, 14mm Pentax XW, 15mm Panoptik) using my f/6 Newt
I fully agree to what John B said.

And I second what Geoff wrote. A 5mm U.O. HD Ortho will give crisp and clear views
with a good f/7,5 ED refractor.

First of all I recommend to go outside with your new scope and try your eyepieces.
After this you mught know what lacks.

Greetings, Karsten
