Eric mate whats wrong with 60 degrees?
All my planatery orthoscopic 52 degrees do ok ?
even on the moon .
Different eyepieces for different folks , some like 100 degree Ethos's . , but like most cant justify the expense .
Ausrock mate , dont be sold on the bigger is better pitch, It's what suits you , one of my favorit eye pieces is a .965 inch 6mm orthoscopic made in about 1960 with a straw field of view 40 degrees , but this blows away my 22 Panoptic and celestron Ultima 2x barlow @ 11mm . on any view of the moon and planets .
in any of my scopes.
Small field but on the planets and moon , but you only look at the centre any way .
My Celestron 31mm Axium LX 2 inch is another eyepiece all together , and another time . a real 82 degrees ..
Good Plossles are the way to go .
Brian.
