Ok, from what I gather for eye pieces...
Eye relief is important for me as I wear eye glasses so I am thinking anything above 15mm eye relief for my next eye peice.
Focal length determines the brightness, can you get a high magnification eye peice with high focal length? or are they negatively correlated?
Its hard to find the focal length of eye peices as the online shops like Bintel and Andrews don't give such information.
I am considering the one below....
<TABLE cellPadding=1 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=ProductDescription vAlign=top>Meade 5000 06.7mm (1.25") </TD></TR><TR><TD class=desc vAlign=top>The new six and seven element Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle eyepieces deliver extremely high resolution, contrast and full-field sharpness over an astounding 82° apparent field-of-view.
Fully Multi Coated. 7 lens elements
Eye relief: 15.7mm Weight:250g
</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top></TD></TR><TR><TD> </TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top></TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top>$285.00
Is this good? It has 15mm eye relief, but it doesn't say the FL so i am not sure as to how bright the image will be....
and the price is like 1/3 of my scope?!?!?!? Is it worth it to spend so much on an eyepeice?
Is there a cheaper alternative I can get which offer similar results?
BTW I have 12' GS Dob..... FL 1500.
