Planetary HR vs Hyperion Eyepiece

[steve_bham]

This might have been asked before so sorry if it has! But has anyone done a side by side review of the HR's and hyperions?

I want to get some mid priced eyepieces and can go upto about £100-130 ish for each one.

I know the HR's are £50 but don't see the point paying the extra if you can get good views from them.

Thanks

The Hyperions won't be great at the field edges in your F/5 scope Steve so I'd save your money and go for the TS Planetary HR's.

Thanks John. I've heard good reviews on the HR's. Have you used them?

[John]

Yes, I've used some of the TS Planetary HR's sold by Telescope Services in Germany and Modern Astronomy in the UK. They are very good eyepieces for their price I thought - very nearly identical to the original Burgess / TMB Planetary eyepieces.

I also like the Hyperions but they are not that well corrected when used in fast scopes. Nice at F/8 or slower though.

Great thanks for info
