Zoom Eyepieces
Hi everyone,
since I started observing with a dob I noticed how important it is not loose the target as recentering can be aweful. So I was thinking about a zoom eyepiece that allows me to find and centre with low power and observe with changing powers without going away from the eyepiece.
The most recent talk on zooms here is from last year and saw that Baader came up with a new Hyperion Zoom 8-24mm and Orion introduced a new premium zoom 7.5 - 24mm.
My question:
has someone with some experience on a premium eypiece used these and can comment on them? and if so, are zooms an alternative or just showroom toys?
I want one for planets in my 12" F/5 GSO dob (maybe with 2.5xPowermate (all 1.25" barrel)
Cheers
