I use a Skywatcher 12” f5 Goto dob under Bortle 3 skies
My 3 favourite DSO eye pieces
1/ Ethos 21mm
2/ Apollo 11mm
3/ Panoptic 27mm
My 3 favourite Planetary eye pieces
1/ Apollo 11mm
2/ Ethos SX 4.7mm
3/ Delos 6mm
In January I experienced the best view of the Homunculus behind Eta Carina Star using my Apollo 11 eye piece during new moon.Even better than my Ethos 21mm with 2 x Powermate
I just thought I would mention it. The Apollo 11 eye piece is “Definitely Not” a show piece in a trophy cabinet , it’s a superb, well designed and engineered optical instrument worthy of its historical name.
