  1. Here is my little collection of EPs to get me going. I must say I like them all at the moment.
  2. Yeh it is massive....it's the largest mm one I own but must admit I do like it a lot as I can see loads of the sky and it's a lot easier to get about. I have never considered getting a "" Finder EP " until now. Now I'm wondering how to sneak another one in past the misses lol...... Thanks..... Scott
  3. Thanks Ricochet..... I like the EP, great view through it and I also find the large eye cup to be ok.... Just different. Loving it so far.
  4. Easier to find stuff with this EP.... I'm more than happy with it, it does show up a big chunk of the sky which helps a beginner like me..... Thanks John.
  5. Got the chance of getting a Meade SWA 5000 28mm eyepiece at a decent price so having researched a bit on this site I opted to go for that. Looking at reviews elsewhere as well it seems to be much the same as the Maxvision and ES68 so I think I have picked a decent EP. The only concern that I had was that it would only work out at x43 Mag so I'm hoping this is good for DSOs. opinions please...... Scott
  6. What????? It can't see through thick cloud.... No good to me then lol.
  7. Yeh John it will be between the Maxvision and the ES 24..... I'll try and get them 2nd hand so I'll see what one pops up first. Thanks Thanks Paul. It helps a lot.... Scott
  8. Thanks Chris, I think I have enough info now to decide what to get..... Thanks
  9. Thanks for that..... Yeh everything is pointing towards the ES 24mm, so many good things said about it.... Cheers
  10. Thanks for the Advice laudropb I think I will pay the extra although I would be looking for a used one first..... Scott
  11. Cheers Davy..... I have the 7mm X-cel LX and like it that's why I was considering the 25mm. The ES does sound lovely though
  12. Thanks John, great to hear an opinion from someone who owns both. The maxing out of the FV is interesting as well Thanks
  13. As some of you know I am trying to collect a nice group of eyepieces as my job situation will change soon and I will not have much spare cash to spend in the future. I am looking to change my stock 25mm EP and was looking at 2 options.... Explorer Scientific 68 degree 24mm and the X-CEL LX 25mm. What do you guys think as my budget lies in-between these 2, will the quality difference between them justify the price difference? Any more suggestions within this price range. Also I am looking to buy a 6 mm to give me x200 mag as I've read on here that my 5mm at x240 will only be useful on certain nights but I'm finding it difficult to find any reviews on any 6mm, I would be looking to buy second hand at somewhere around the price stated for the 24/25mm above..... Thanks again.... Scott
