Missing link in eyepiece collection...

[emadmoussa]

For under £150, I need a medium power wide field, preferrably 2", eyepiece. The range between 20mm and 22mm...

I came across the Expolre Scientific 20mm...not very p romising though, neither is the Baader Hyperion 21mm...

Also considering the Baader Zoom...

How about this http://www.explorescientific.de/maxvision-82deg-okular-24mm-p-25559.html they're Meade clones at half the price & are getting great reviews but they're going fast, i've just ordered the 20 & 24 @68' Read this http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/186249-maxvision-24mm-68deg/page__st__100#entry1950807 from what i've read & advice i've been given there really isnt much between the82' & 68' with alot of people prefering the view thru the 68 & that they're on par with es's.

i am hearing the ES maxvision 24mm is a real keeper, at a great price, i have the 16mm version and its superb

Thanks, Steve. Yeah, I think the 20mm range is the one that didn't receive a lot of praise. http://www.explorescientific.de/explore-scientific-68deg-eyepiece-20mm-125-p-22938.html. Probably I was looking at the old version?

Nightfisher, yes, I read somewhere about this eyepiece, but I already have a high quality 24mm EP.

Quick question though, if I order from the US...is the export tax part of the price (product and shipping) ? Or how does that work?

When the eyepiece comes in from the US, you'll have to pay 20% VAT, 4% import duty with about £8 'handling charge' when you pick it up. This doesn't always happen, but you can waive the handling charge if you get the US retailer to declare the value to customs, so you will only get charged VAT and import duty.

You'd be daft to miss it at the price (meade re-brands worth at least £180)!

In the 20-22 range i would have though the 20 max is a no brainer - £66 if they have any left.

Maxvision 68° Okular 20mm buy at Explore Scientific

The next step, and a small one at that would be a vixen 22 LVW and thats £200
