13 mm nagler type 6, a stunning eyepiece and my most used!

Another vote for the 13mm Nagler. Awesome!

My scopes vary in focal length from 663mm to 1200mm so my favourite eyepiece depends on the scope I'm using at the time.

I guess it would have to be either the 13mm or 8mm Ethos as these marvelous eyepieces are so flexible that, depending on the scope, I could almost go a whole night without changing eyepiece.

Would 13mm still be as popular if the afov was only 60° instead of 100° for the Ethos?

Before I bought my Ethos and Nagler EPs I have to say that my must used EP was a 17mm Baader Hyperion (now sold).

My favourites have to be my 42mm, 13mm and 8mm Vixen LVWs. I have used many types of eyepiece over the years but never found anything as comfortable as a LVW.

I just wish there was a 10mm...

I luv my 31 Nagler for the wide views, and Pentax high powers for lunar / planetary. But in terms of overall use, value and function, can't beat the balance of power and FOV of the mighty 24 mm Panoptic.....IMHO.

[Pete Presland]

i dont get to use it as much as i would like, but the 6mm orion is expanse very good!

My vote is for the one I use the most, that being the 32mm that came with my Celestron EP and filter kit.

I use it to locate and centre all my targets before zooming in with an object-suited EP.

31mm Hyperion for widefield and finding bits.

11mm ES 82 as the workhorse.

6.7mm Meade 4000 UWA has been my planetary eyepiece for almost two years now. But now passed onto my son as i have the ES 82 6.7mm on the way.

My 32mm Plossl, nice views, plenty of contrast and easy to look through.

[MjrTom]

For me my favourite EP would be the Televue Nagler 3-6mm Zoom followed very closely by the Nagler 13mm T6.

Most of my observing is lunar/planetary viewing mixed in with double star, globular cluster and planetary nebula hunting all with my 3" ED Refractor.

[Ags]

All of my EPs, with the exception of 2, have been firm favorites at one time or another.

The only two duds were a horrible 15mm Omni and a 9mm SkyWatcher LER.

13mm Nagler is my eyepiece of choice at the moment. Used mainly in a 60mm refractor to give a TFOV of 3 degrees at 27x.
