Hi All
I am considering buying a couple of eyepieces and have a budget of around $400 (total). I am interested in looking at planets and DSO’s and have an 8inch Newtonian on an EQ5 mount. I usually observe from my suburban Canberra bask yard but good viewing sites are quite close by.
I have been looking at the Baader Hyperion eyepieces and they seem to be quite good value and also have the advantage of having adjustable focal lengths by using fine tuning rings. What would be the best focal lengths to get to start with, I will add to the collection of eyepieces as budget permits.
Has any one out there used these and what are your thoughts on their quality?
What other options are of better or similar quality in the roughly $200 each price range.

Cheers,

Chris
