Skywatcher have significantly reduced the price of their Super Plossl eyepieces





All things considered, the Plossl design offers more performance-per-£ than any other eyepiece type and is an excellent choice for general use.

The Skywatcher Super Plossls are also better-made than most, with multi-coated edge-blackened optics.

The 6.3, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 17, 20 & 26mm are £19.90

The 32 & 40mm are £29.90

Our experience suggests the focal lengths 10 - 32mm are most worthy of attention.

(We are not sure at this stage whether this is an ongoing reduction or a timed promotion)

Good price Steve - I might 'phone you on Monday. My local Astro Soc needs 2-3 inexpensive EPs for Public Outreach - they sometimes go "missing" so cheap EPs of reasonable quality are the way we go (No Naglers).

If it is for an astro society and used for promoting astronomy we'll be pleased to reduce the price even further

Woe is me, for I am ruined!!

Don't do this to me!!

I'm broke!!

What a great deal!

Cheers Steve, I will 'phone you on Monday.

Tom

what would anyone with experience recommend I use with a 250xp newt ?

thanks.

Are you asking which of these Plossls would be good for your scope? (Great avatar BTW).

thanks steve, yes ive got a 25 and 10 mm that came with the scope but i dont think their the same as these and are just looking for a decent eyepeice(s) that works well my scope.

Are you happy with the performance of your 25mm (your 10mm is not a good eyepiece)?

to be honest i dont have anything to compare them against (exp. wise) looking a bit close i believe they're both Super-MA Series Eyepiece's

Ah, then these Plossls will be a distinct improvement

I'll post a chart later tonight showing a selection of suitable Plossls and their field of views.

many thanks.

Having played around with the scope and eyepiece specs I think you already have two of the most useful focal lengths, they just aren't especially good.

Initially I selected the following as being of interest:




Then removed some to leave a 'minimum' set of three:



The 32mm Panaview eyepiece has a 2" barrel and a wide 70-degree field-of-view. It will offer much nicer views than the 32mm Plossl eyepiece so is worth the extra. Besides, it would be a shame not to take advantage of your focusers ability to accept 2" eyepieces.

Magnifications are:

10mm - 125x
17mm - 73.5x
26mm - 48x
32mm - 39x

I am assuming you won't be using a barlow.

thanks for that steve, one problem though on your shipping theres no guernsey option

Try selecting 'outside uk'

hi steve

tried that but then you need to select a 'country' if you select uk it then asks you to select a county ?

Hhmmm... Please select the county as Devon and country as UK, if that doesn't work please phone the order through and I'll process the payment manually.

Order with you Steve

Hi Steve,

Is this EP offer still on? I was thinking of a 10mm and a 40mm to add to the 26mm as supplied with my ETX125.

Regards
Peter

Clicking the link in the first post shows the offer is, indeed, still valid....

Silly me!

Thanks Arad.

Peter

Peter, you will be better served by the 32mm. The 1.25" barrel crops the FOV of eyepieces over 25mm so the 32mm offers the same actual field of view as the 40mm.

Are these 2inch EPs ?

Will they work in a SkyWatcher ED120 EvoStar Pro Refractor ?

Look just above you...

They will work in your refractor if you have a diagonal that will take a 1.25" eyepiece

The standard Plossls are 1.25-inch

The Skywatcher Panaview, Skywatcher Aero ED and Skywatcher Nirvana 28mm are all 2-inch widefield designs that will work well with your telescopes.
