Best eyepieces for new Celestron 9.25" SCT

[Commanderfish]

Very honest YKSE! Well if there's not much difference to the 10mm Hyperion, then I'm going with the Zoom.

I think I might have preferred the ES82s slightly, but it seems like 10mm is the ideal Focal length for the C925 and the ES82s don't come in that size. Plus, 2 of those would cost more.

YKSE, what focal length scope do you use and do you notice any issues toward the field edges with the Zoom between 8 - 12mm?

Do you think I'd have any issues with the Zoom I'm a c925 SCT?

[YKSE]

I've used the zoom in all my scopes (PST included), f7.5 to f10, fairly slow ones, i.e, I can't say there're any edge issues related to the zoom. In PST, I don't view the sun in the edge, 80ED has some field curvature of its short focal length, my standard C8 has its own mixture of coma/field curvature because of the simpler design, I believe C9.25 is a of different design and much better corrected standard SCT.

Screw it I've ordered the Zoom I've done my research, and if so many people are happy with it having forked out between 150 and 200 quid, it can't be too shabby

...and I've just ordered the Revelation 42mm 2". Happy days!

Nice 1 Fish - I've got 2 of the zooms which I use in the binoviewer, was out last night on Jupiter and the detail, even though the seeing wasn't the best, was very nice - the NEB was nearly split "in two", but the seeing sort of went downhill from there - then the clouds rolled in - but nice all the same.

The Zoom is a very nice piece of equipment - especially at F10 - you won't be dissapointed.
