Although advanced in years I am quite new to observing the stars with a telescope.
I live in an area with significant light pollution and for the last several months have been using a 130mm tabletop (Zhumell) Dobsonian, which I have been upgrading with eyepieces.
MY present eyepieces are:
1. GSO super (68*) plossl 20 mm
2. Paradigm 12mm
3. Meade 5000 UWA 8.8
I am now interested in an eyepiece to maximize my ability to view whatever DSO could to found (given the light pollution, my old eyes and my current scope). In the future I may consider filters (or moving/driving to dark sites) but not yet
Am looking in the general price range of $200 (us) and so far (as to currently available products) initially thinking about the Explore Scientific 82* 14mm or 68* 16 mm.
I would appreciate any advice as between those EP or any other that would best counter the light pollution.
Thanks
John
