Widefield eyepiece 28mm to 30mm (68 to 82 degree).

[Guest]

I am looking for some advice.I have a 150mm Skywatcher Star travel refractor.Because of the fast focal ratio of the telescope (F5) I would have to chosse carefully.I would like to buy a wide field eyepiece that works well in this telescope.I have had Televue's before ,but they did not suit me.I have been considering The Maxvision 28mm,Skywatcher 30mm Aero and Explorer Scientific 28mm.Any views and advice would be great,thanks.

It would be useful to know what it was about the Tele Vues that you did not like and which range they were from so we avoid the same issues with new recommendations

The Aero is the same design as the TMB Paragon, and the 40 mm version was very comfortable and sharp. The MaxVisions are excellent value for money, but I personally find my Nagler 31T5 "Panzerfaust" outstanding. Maybe that was one you tried, however.

I actually had the 5mm Radian and both 19mm & 24mm Panoptics. The Panoptics elements seemed to mist up quite easily.This did not happen with other eyepieces.I accept that others like them & I must say that the views were great.
