Which way to go??

[JohnC]

Need advice from you guy's and gal's.

Would like to purchase 3 eyepieces and 1 barlow.

Budget £100 per eyepiece and same for barlow.

Scopes are

7" Mak at F15

72mm refractor at F6

Will be getting 120mm refractor at F6 or F7

Interests, lunar/planets Clusters, globs. Damn everything really.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have tried hyperions and did not get on with them.

At the moment i only have budget Plossols.

thanks

John

Hi John,

What was it about Hyperions that you did not like ?.

I just don't want to recommend something with similar characteristics !

[Stardust]

You can't go wrong with a Televue barlow, they do a cracking job.

Hi

I found a kidney bean effect quite distracting. The eye had to be placed just so to get the field of view correct.

hope that makes sense.

i wear spectacles all the time but NOT when observing.

i do not think that i am too bothered about super wide fields.

i am more interested in sharp views.

Many thanks

John

Tal barlow..if you can find one!

[Spec-Chum]

Could do a lot worse than importing some sterling plossl's and you'd get lots of change

[faulksy]

i know you said £100 a piece but ypu could go for a 16mm sw nirvana beautiful ep then 1 or 2 high power e.p.s.i know i am going to say what i have in my signature but i have tried quite a few eps. but the ts hrs are brilliant and 50 quid a go, also a lot love the meade hds which i havnt tried

I would suggest the KK circle T orthoscopic 25mm 18mm and 7mm from glen at lyra optics, very sharp and £55 per ep, work well in short and long focal length scopes

[Stardust]

Oh yes I have the 18 & 25mm circle T eyepieces, decent size bit of glass on the top. Mine are older ones but just the same as the newies at Lyra and they barlow well with a Televue 2x to give you 2 more.

Thanks for the replies so far.
