Well with the panaview I am just not getting clear views and I don't want to keep changing to 2inch adapter and with the Hyperion I don't like eyecup and not as good as I had hoped for and yea budget about 180

yea i was thinking of the televues, they were what i was originaly going to get but was swayed by all the rave reviews of the hyperions and the panaviews i guess they are just not for me.i think i could possibly sell my 2 and have enough for a couple of second hand tv,s or maybe give the x-cel,s a try

Tele Vue eyepieces are all tested to work well down to F/4 so they should work well. The eye relief will get tight as the focal length reduces with the plossls though but as the 2 eyepieces you are not so keen on have long eye relief perhaps you would get on better with shorter eye relief eyepieces.

I think the challenge here is that, while they are not perfect eyepieces, many folks might have suggested a Panaview and a Hyperion for use in your scope !.

Lets not start buying and selling equipment in this thread folks.

Thanks :smiley:

In what way do you not think you are getting the best from your scope ?

The Panaviews and Hyperions should show you what it can deliver - maybe there are other issues, eg: collimation, cooling, light pollution etc ?

no prob with cooling always cooled down for an hour or so, collimation could be an issue but i think i have that sorted got a laser collimator and think i have the hang of it now. before i got the 2 said ep,s i bought a 32mm ep off here no name on paid £10 for it it looked like a skywatcher and i had better clearer views through it than i do the panaview and the hyperion i just dont like the eyecup and everything through it looks kinda green :confused:
