I have a Baader Hyperion 8-24 zoom, do I need more?
I rarely do observing, usually the camera is on the end of my scope on the rare occasions I find the time in a busy life. My eyepiece collection was pretty sad - I had a York Optical quartz diagonal, a 2" York? 42mm eyepiece, and a 1.25" plossl 4mm or 4.5mm eyepiece. Decided to get a Baader Hyperion 8-24mm zoom to fill the gap and read it was not bad. Happy with that for the amount of use it will get.
Now that the Aussie dollar is doing stronger been wondering if it's worth getting a better quality planetary eyepiece, and/or maybe a better quality wider one.
At present my scopes are an ED80 refractor and a C8 SCT. I have a 1.25" 2.5x powermate too.
What do you recommend for someone who is just an occasional observer?
