markie 20 Posted August 5, 2023 Just a quick question, I'm thinking of making a 50mm eyepiece for a Bresser Messier 10inch dob, do think this would work? Many thanks Mark Link to comment
Astronomist 205 Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Markie, a 50mm eyepiece in an f5 telescope like your dob gives an exit pupil of 10mm, which is vastly too big, probably big enough to see the central obstruction. Try making an eyepiece of around 30-35mm focal length. Edited August 5, 2023 by Astronomist Link to comment
