Going round in circles - 130p Heritage EPs

[paul schofield]

I know skies the limit advertise try before you buy on their website, if you cant make up your mind between 2 eyepieces for instance. I don't know if this is still the case, worth a look. Yes I just checked their site. Its called try and buy, it is explained on the right hand side of the eyepiece page of the site

I bought my first decent scope in February ive just ordered an 8 and 18mm BST and a 32 Plossl from Skys The Limit. Ive spent a month backwards and forwards looking and reading reviews,I read the great piece on here by The Warthog i then emailed a gentleman called Robin Wilkey who wrote another great piece then emailed Alan At Skys The Limit. In the end i phoned Alan had a chat to him and what a decent gentleman he is and speaking to him i made my choice, as my scope is a 6 in f/5 a 5 mm eyepice will give me magnification of 150x which wil be the top end of my scopes capacity so a 130 will probably be less but give Alan a ring he will advise you and he doesnt try to sell you anything your not going to use.

Accidentally spent £100 on a TAL x2 Barlow, 6mm TMB Planetary II, 9mm Celestron Plossl & Pocket Sky Atlas.

Now....how to sneak them past the missus and claim they came with the scope?!

Ive just seen a tal x2 barlow for £39.99 on a website im going to buy it now sounds good.

Ultimately all you can do is but an eyepiece and hope it works.

Reading everything will just give a combination in equal amounts of recommending an eyepiece and not recommending the same one.

The 8mm and 18mm should be fine, with a barlow you could get 4mm and 9mm out of them. A 4mm may be usable.

Yes, the Sky's the Limit will let you try before you buy, they usually invoice you for one but let you try two to compare I understand, and you just keep the one you like best.

Ultimately i like to use straight through eyepieces which are better but i can check with a barlow how low i can go i.e 8mm barlowed down to 4mm if that looks good i will get the 5mm BST thats as low as im going to go. I think i will be getting the full range.
