Hi,

I was wondering if any of you have advice on eyepieces.

I've only got a cheap Bushnell reflector, and being only an occasional
SNIP

Any ideas? I've seen a Meade 0.965" 12mm second hand, which I'm guess
would be an improvement on my 4mm bushnell (?), but anyone got an idea
of what I could cheaply (2nd hand or new), and where to get them?

AFAIK there aren't many makers of decent 0.965 eyepieces around.
Takahashi would be the exception but be prepared to pay. It would make
more sense to get 1.25" oculars which can be kept and used with a better
scope if you eventually buy one.

Llanzlan.



I could probably do with a decent barlow too.

thanks,
Pete



Thanks for all your advice, everyone.

I think I'll try out just a 12mm 0.965, seeing as they're pretty
cheap, and if we're hooked then start collecting higher quality 1.25"
as an investment.

Thanks again.

Pete
