My biggest "mistake" was continually swapping the eyepieces to see what differences they made without really understanding why....so some research to be done there.
We had to call it a halt when we both started getting sore eyes from squinting the non-viewing eye.....might invest in a Pirate's outfit to solve that problem  |
G'day Gary, flying through your eyepieces is all part of it, you can get heaps of advice on eps but they are very personal (I mean brands as well size) and require a good deal of looking through before you find what's best for you. When you get to it, I recommend a good wide field 26mm up to 40mm for the 10" dob, as well as a good 6-10mm for planetary viewing. The brands and quality as always depend on the coin. You probably knew all of this already having read the threads for the past few weeks
