Skywatcher ED80 and PanaView 2" Eyepiece?

[biondi]

Hi there,

I've just bought this scope and have ordered a few EP's for it, the first to arrive was a PanaView 2" (http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-eyepieces/skywatcher-panaview-2-eyepieces.html) which I thought would be quite nice. However, I'm not achieving anywhere near focus with it, do I need to purchase something else for 2" EP's or something?

Cheers,

Matt

I should add, I don't have a 90 degree diagonal for this as yet - perhaps this is why it's not achieving focus..

You need a diagonal for the eyepiece to reach focus. Obviously a 2" one in this case.
