Hey lets put in a bulk order and get a discount! Somehow I don't think we would be ordering enough though.
I have a really short focal length scope (480mm) so all my eyepieces will be a bit shorter than most. I want to complete a travel set up, so I just grab the ZenithStar case and off I go. There are spots in the case for one 2" and three 1.25" EP's and I want to fill those spaces up!
I am going to get the 4mm and 8mm radians. Later on (in a few months or less) I will probably get the 12mm radian or 15mm panoptic. I'm leaning towards the panoptic. So then I'll have 2 radians and 2 panoptics.
My eyepiece "spaces" will be filled up by:
2" = 22mm panoptic (already got this one) for 22x - wide field
1.25" = 15 panoptic for 32x - binocular objects
1.25' = 8mm radian for 60x - messier objects
1.25" = 4mm radian for 120x - planets
Well that's my plan anyway. All plans subject to change without notice.
I still often think about that 35mm panoptic...
But with a 5 degree FOV, I'm not sure what I would look at.
