John Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Depends on the scope really. What will you be using ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telrad Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I've got a TA800x80 reflecting scope from jessops.IMHO I would give the 6mm a go in that case. Clear skies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yes, the 6mm would be worth a go but if you don't get a nice clear view with that then back off the power and used the 12.5mm. Remember to leave the scope to cool for a while before using it and don't view through windows etc (I'm sure you know that last one !). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Start with the 12.5mm, assume this gives 64x which should give a reasonable image.Just concerned that the 6mm @ 132x may be a little high. Although it is pretty clear tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethA Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 go with the 6 ! Seeing is pretty good at least down south - Jupiter looks good now at high mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
