Low power wide angle for a skyliner 200p

[jabberwocky]

so i kind of impulse bought a skyliner 200p the other day and now i have 'proper' scope i need some decent eyepieces to compliment it.

i have a William optics 7.5-22.5 zoom which will do for now but i want a good quality low power wide angle eyepiece for wide field views.

so with a focal length of 1200mm a 30mm or 32mm would be ideal?

any recommendations?

budget i guess is in the region of £150 max although im eager to keep costs as low as possible.

There was a thread recently on this:

The conclusion seems to be that a 32mm Skywatcher Panaview would be good. Your budget could run to a Skywatcher Aero ED 30mm as an alternative which offers slightly better performance.

40mm Plossl from scope 'n skies,about £30 delivered. Gives great views for the £.

Don't use much widefield, unless it's public viewing to show clusters ,with the Crowman.

Personally I prefer the view through a 32mm plossl over a 40mm one, assuming we are talking about the 1.25" eyepiece size here. The 32mm shows as much sky and darkens the background sky a bit which helps deep sky objects stand out a little better.

I've read a lot of good things about the Panaview but I'm still hoping to get a 31mm Baader Hyperion Aspheric to add to my collection

I use the Hyperion 31mm and it is a great eyepiece. At the outer edge there's a slight mushiness but it doesn't detract from the great view.

I've got the 31mm hyperion aswel..is now my most used lens..well worth it

Personally ,I wouldn't go overboard spending vast cash on 32mm/40mm EP. You'll find that it's seeing conditions that'll dominate the view. Seeing a wide view makes me reach for the 21mm and then the 12mm to see what's there!
