Any favorite wide view lenses for less than $200?


Recommended Posts

I am new to the forum and to the world of amateur astronomy, so if I'm just plain wrong about something please correct me I wont be offended I really just want to learn...

This Christmas I bought an orion xt8 as a gift to myself. In the box I got a, 1.25 25mm plossl ep, a 35mm 2" deep view ep, and a 1.25 2x barlow lens. I found that i really like the expansive feeling of the deep view but wanted to get a higher magnification cuz I wasnt diggin the 25mm plossl(very cheap product). I posted this Q to see if anyone has any recomondations for 2" wide view ep with a lenght between 8mm -15mm and if that is even advisable. I have a 2" UltraBlock Narrowband Filter and was hoping to find an ep with a bit more magnification to view nebula, galaxies and clusters.

Thanks everyone, im glad to be apart of this forum!
