I've got tv plossls and bgo's. Honestly it's hard to pick between them as they're both excellent. The only difference in terms of viewing quality is the tv's have a slightly darker background. Danny.

+1 for the BGO's. The 7mm I use most on planets and the moon.

Meade 40mm Series 5000 Super Wide Angle Eyepiece .
Mr Moff replied to Dave Wall's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
I'm having one of those days as well. Made a coffee earlier and put the sugar in the fridge. A nice clear night in the garden should help. To the op an eyepiece worth looking at in that price range is the Hyperion Aspheric 31mm. Or a televue 32mm plossl. -
I still can't decide. Whats the weight difference between the 31 nagler and the 21 ethos?
-
I'm considering the same, with the discount at the moment its a pretty good price. Or grab a few naglers. Decisions decisions.
-
What about a Hyperion zoom with a televue plossl 32mm? That should cover most things, plus the zoom will let you know what focal length eyepieces you might want in the future.

A couple of my x-cel lx's came from a guy on eBay. He was originally doing them for £49 with free post and the service was great. A couple of weeks later they went up to £59. Still a great price.

What are you aspiring to observe this Autumn / Winter?
Mr Moff replied to jonathan's topic in The Astro Lounge
Everything but please no more clouds. -
I have the X-cel LX range apart from the 2.3mm. The 5 and 7mm eyepieces work great on planets. The edges aren't to bad to be honest because you ususlly look in the centre on planets. The only thing I noticed with the 5mm is that I have a little trouble keeping my eye in the right spot, but the 7mm is a great eyepiece.

First night ever stargazing, loved it, need advice!
Mr Moff replied to Fordos Moon's topic in The Astro Lounge
Nice one. I will always remember my first night. -
unfortunately not mate. It would be nice if they did. The foam cases from maplins is more than big enough for the set.

I just use the skywatcher one and it works pretty good. The battery lasts a good length of time too. -
Televue Plossl v BGOs for planetary use.
Mr Moff replied to Odd Thomas's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
This is a hard choice. I use both and like them just as much. If I had to pick one planetary eyepiece in those 2 flavours I'd say the 7mm bgo is my favourite. Either of them would be money well spent. -
I have made a dreadful mistake and need advice
Mr Moff replied to rowan46's topic in Discussions - Eyepieces
sounds like a good ethos 13mm moment approaching. Absolute heaven.
