Low Power EP for a Celestron C8 SCT


Mark in Macc

Recommended Posts

I'm planning to buy a C8 SCT fairly soon, mainly for planetary/lunar observing but would also like to use it for DSOs on occasion. The widest field EP I currently have is a TV 25 mm Plossl. Would a 32 mm Plossl be a worthwhile addition for an f/10 SCT? I'm probably looking to spend £100ish if worthwile over the 25 mm EP. Other suggestions gratefully recieved as well.

If you want to stay with the 1.25" format then a 32mm plossl will show just about the max field of view. If you can go to the 2" format then you can consider things like the Panaview 38mm which will show nearly 40% more sky. You will need to budget for a 2" diagonal too, if you don't already have one.
