Eary,

hang five and let me try all the eyepieces i can lay my hands on at star camp.

Three categories, cheap=series 500 and gs, moderate = meades etc and premium = televue.

Each will be compared back to a series 500 at the same target at roughly the same time on the f5 dob

Mars will be out and so will saturn and dark skies will show up the dso's ie orion!

Which is the best planetary, best dso, double star resolution.

I will try and repeat on another sct etc, to see if there is any difference.

I want to know for all three ranges of eyepiece; contrast, image quality across the entire eyepiece, eye relief, barlow potential, double barlow potential etc. What is the overall feeling for the eyepiece etc.

I was able to double up a 2.4x and a 2x barlow and my 12mm series 500 worked well on mars ,the 6.5mm didn't work at all.

Hopefully, there will be a comprehensive list from a newbies point of view of where they all sit, and is there a good feel for value for money?
