Eyepiece suggestions.
Hi all.
I recently have bought a second hand 127mm x 1200mm achromat.
It has come with a 12.5mm eyepiece that just has a K on it which i think stands for Kellner and also a 25mm plossl.
Finally got to do a little observing last night thanks to change in the weather and was amazed at the view I got of Jupiter with the cheap eyepieces, it has got me excited to see what I can see with a decent planetary piece.
I have bought a 2.5x Bintel barlow which should arrive soon which when combined will take my magnification to 240x which will begin to push my scope to its limit.
Anyway, after suggestions for planetary eyepieces people might recommend for my setup.
I am thinking a 6mm which will give 200x.
Also, can a decent 15mm with a barlow attached compete with a straight 6mm piece. Just trying to get the most use out of a budget.
At most im thinking $100 for a single eyepiece.
I could be pushed to $200 for a recommended set, but can't imagine spending that much on a single piece at the moment.
Thanks, Kris.
