BST Explorers

[Neil1194]

Just snatched a quick half hour out due to a rare break in the clouds to try two new eyepieces my lovely missus got me for my birthday a couple of weeks back - 18mm and 25mm. I already have the 12mm and a set of Revelations.

Really pleased with the Explorers -didn't have much cooling down time -stunning clear views of the moon and Venue was really sharp. Cant wait for some clear skys for a proper test.

What lenses do I need to complete my BST set? any suggestions?

ps she said the Skys the Limit were terrific to deal with.

Try a higher mag one perhaps? A 7mm maybe - could complete a nice set? That said, the Revelations you already have are supposed to be good value and quality.

I have a couple of BSTs and they are excellent.

Yep, Alan's great. You'll love the 8mm flat field EP. Gives a wide clear view, ace for deep sky close ups , nice.

The BST Explorers/StarGuiders are great all-round ep's and work well in all apertures and focal lengths.

8mm BST seems the obvious answer.

I have the 8mm and 25mm in my kit which I use on my 200p f5. great eyepieces and as has been said Alan is great. The 8mm is great for planets.

is there much difference in the stock 25mm u get with scope and the bst 25mm? ie. worth the upgrade?
