Choosing an eyepiece
Hi,
I am fairly new to this forum and have picked up some really good advice just reading through the posts, awesome! I am in the market for a new eyepiece and now need some advice. I own a Nexstar SE 8" and am looking at taking the plunge on a premium eyepiece. The Nagler T6 13mm (1.25) is top of my list, but I am concerned the magnification may be a bit to high for viewing DSO's which is my first love! I dont want a 2" eyepiece as i have a few and have found them a bit heavy and big for the scope. What would the best focal length be for DSO's thinking of both field of view and a bit more magnification. Also, does a focal reducer (6.3) help here as I understand it will convert my scope from a F10 to a F4 which should increase the field of view? How well would the Nagler and focal reducer complement each other?
Any advice will be most appreciated
