Eyepieces for PST

[Poita (Peter)]

I use the 8-24mm Zoom as well, and it is a big improvement over the included eyepiece. It is so convenient to be able to dial in the amount of magnification you want and the narrow FOV isn't an issue as the blocking filter is already narrower.

I use a Pentax 8-24 Zoom which is very handy.

Looks like we have a winner!


I use a Hyperion 8-24 MkIII Zoom...

Hi Mike,

I suggest you consider the 8 to 24 Pentax Zoom or the Baader. The Leica Zoom is better but 8 times the price.

This gives you good options in your PST and in your newtonian if you do decide to do some visual astronomy again.

Cheers,
