Which $100 eyepieces for 8" Dob?
Hey everyone, first post here, be gentle...
I've had my 8" (f6) collapsible skywatcher dob for 2 weeks now. I have just purchased a telrad and plan to purchase a GSO laser collimator and uhc filter soon.
Now i need to upgrade from the standard 10 & 20mm plossl eyepieces and need your help to figure out what to get.
I live and use it mostly in metro Perth but will try to take it to dark skys once a month.
So far i've most enjoyed looking at planets and nebula.
Im thinking of getting a 42mm 2" GSO superview for sweeping the sky and if possible in place of using the finderscope.
Frontier Optics have a 4mm 1.25" TMB/Burgess Planetary eyepiece for $89 which is apparently a bargain, is this too high power for suburban viewing?
Im then looking at a 12mm 1.25" (is there anything that comes close/beats a Pentax XF under $200?)
Advice, recommendations are greatly appreciated, thanks
