Light weight EP's??

[Regulus (Trevor)]

There is a lot of experienced and smart people on IIS and maybe some of u could help me save hours of online time researching (or maybe u will think it good for me to invest those hours

Looking at purchasing 3 eye-pieces (5/13ish/30) of reasonably good quality but minimum weight.

Is this an impossible ask?

Reason. iOptron A-GPS (load cap. 5kg) with Vixen VMC110L Cassegrain (wght: 2.9kg OTA. Would like to attache a camera body on the Cassegrain focus and possibly a lens on the right angle focus together on occasions.

Is wide field of view important to you?

F8 ish of your scope is fairly kind to ep's, so you can get lower priced models which are ok at the edge

For the 5mm best value I reckon is 5mm Kk ortho, will provide sharp planet views.

How light of an ep are you after? <100g 150 or 200g

There are a few 12mm ep like astro tech paradigm, Meade hd60

Trevor,
I use the Siebert Ultra E/P's....great quality and price....and with aluminum barrels, making them a lot lighter than other e/p's.
