For all us Skywatcher newbies

[Julian Hands]

Please see the attached photo that compares my new BST 8mm Eyepiece vs the original Skywatcher 10mm eyepiece.

The BST not only looks quality but the feel and weight also give you a really good feeling that this is no toy.

Wish the weather would clear so I can use it, but I would highly recommend to any Skywatcher newbie to buy these BST eyepieces as an alternative to the supplied cheap Skywatcher eyepieces you get.

I know that the 10mm and 25mm eyepieces that I got with my Evostar 120 do get you started but the 10mm was disappointing and really glad I've made this £49 investment.

The 25mm will next be replaced with the BST equivalent.

no pic ! they are rather good eyepieces

The three I have are great EP's, but the 18mm gives fantastic views.

The BST's are firm favourites among many on this forum (including me)!

Julian has started another thead on this topic and the photos are loaded there. Here is that thread:

I think further posts should be made in that new thread so I'll lock this one.

Thanks
