2" eyepiece suggestions

[Pig]

Guys I have a little bit of cash to spend so I want to get a nice quality 2" eyepiece

I mainly want to use it to see clusters, galaxies and groups of stars.

What would you recommend ?

[Naemeth]

This?

You could spend a lot on a very nice televue or get one of these maxvision - the 28 and 34 are very good. Depends on how much you want to spend.

Binoculars, telescopes, microscopes, spotting scopes, rangefinders, night dision

It all comes down to the money and don,t foget the speed of your scope.

I will have a browse through both sites they all look pretty cool.

The field of view seems to be quite important for what i want, will they be suited to my 9.25 ?

[triton1]

forget about the speed bit your scope will handle anything.I use a 22 mm celstron ultima lx

OK john I will go and look at one of them

Very reasonable price.

I recently bought a Hyperion Aspheric 36mm for my C9.25. Have only used it a few times but it is excellent and having the extra 3/4 of an inch on the barrel and also due to the fact that it is 72 degrees fov, you can get a shed load of sky into the viewfinder.

a 40mm Aero or SWAN will provide excellent wide fields and at a decent price.

Andrew did give good advice; if the Maxvision's are as good as the ES82's then you won't miss much compared to TeleVue Naglers at F/10, or so I've heard.

Other than that, the WO Swans and Aero that Shane linked to would be good for slightly less money at this focal ratio.

These are silly money at the moment for Meade rebrands!

I have the ES 18mm and love that.

Silly = cheap or overpriced ?

[bingevader]

I meant ridiculously cheap rather than ridiculously expensive, beg your pardon.

The 16mm is £50, that's only £2 more than a BST which are considered excellent budget EPs.

However, the Maxvision are Meade re-brands starting at £180? Spot the difference?

Cheers

Ps. too late, the 16mm has gone!

I am considering the 34mm

[kerrylewis]

I have the 38mm Panaview from FLO with my Celestron 925 and am very pleased with it.

Pig,

The 34mm is a fine eyepiece but it is rather heavy, I don't know if this will give you a problem. If it is anything to go by my Meade cost me 249 pounds in 2008. So they are really cheap.
