Merlin66 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 For the C9.25 at f10 you could use almost any eyepiece. It comes down to eye relief and field of view.Both the hyperion and the orthos are good planetary eyepieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnut Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi Faulksy,Have a go with the BST explorer ed. Have an 8mm which I use in my sct and this will generate c300x in your celestron. For a side by side comparison have a look at 1.25" Eyepieces They let you try for a couple of weeks and send back the ones you don't want!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damo636 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 As its mainly for planets i would suggest the Baader orthoscopic. I have used the TMB, the Hyperion and the BGO. The ortho has them all well whipped when it comes down to extracting the finer detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadget Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi Mike If you are considering a ortho i think it would be wise to try first if you can some love them and some just cant on with them due to the small amount of glass and tight eye relief i did have one but really didn't like it yes the views were nice but didn't like squashing my eye onto the eyepiece to get them i am sure you would prefer the more comfortable viewing that hyperions TMBs /Clones Celestron X-Cel LX etc provide and like said it is a very forgiving scope you don't really need top shelf eyepieces to get really nice views Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I wish there was places like this when I was buying eyepieces what a great serviceDoug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen g Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi all, New to SGL. Does anyone have experience with using ethos eyepieces with a Meade LX 90 ACF 8" or with any scope similar to it. much appreciated. allen g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantuk Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I primarily use 5mm, 8mm, and 12mm Radians and never had a problem with my recently sold 8" Sct. I'm sure they'll work just as well with the 925 upgrade if this weather ever clears up and I get chance to use it. The 13mm Ethos is my favourite for use in all my scopes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brantuk Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'll go find it thanks Mike Found it! and yes - the CPC is very sensitive to the wrong voltage - I've had that happen as well - keep it well charged and you'll be fine - especially when it's cold out - I usually carry a spare power pack just in case. Great to hear you both had a good night with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
