Wide view eyepiece

[steve51158]

Having recently attended a stargazing event I have now purchased a SKYWATCHER  HERITAGE 114P telescope.

This comes with a 10 and a 25mm eyepiece giving x20 and x50 mag.

I would like to purchase a wide view 4mm or 6mm eyepiece for greater mag.

Any one any views or suggestions,my budget is limited to £35.Thanks

Hi and welcome to SGL.

Within your price range I'd go with these http://www.firstlightoptics.com/vixen-eyepieces/vixen-npl-eyepieces.html  but please read the part about eyerelief to see if they are ok for you.

That suggestion is not wide field of course, because good sharp wide field eyepieces cost much more.

See what others say, maybe better suggestions out there.

Regards, Ed.

Thank you for your advice,the vixen range look good value but have short eye relief,I will try E-BAY.

i have since found this eyepiece:-

3.2mm 58 Degree TMB Planetary II eyepiece at £40

A little over budget but looks a good eyepiece.

whats your thoughts on the TMB planetary eyepiece?

I have a couple of them, branded as TS Planetary HR. I've got the 6mm and 9mm. They are very nice eyepieces, pleasant and comfortable to use.

  This might be an option for you if you don't mind a used one - 4mm TMB £30  - a lot of us use this site to buy equipment.     Just noticed this is an old thread and you are probably sorted !
