eyepieces

[ron.s.g]

Hi Everyone,

just looking at buying some good eyepieces but probably one at the time because of costs,

watching a meade 20mm series 5000 super wide at the mo but will this be good for general viewing,

also any recommendations will be very helpful mainly just viewing planets etc at the moment.

many thanks ron.s.g.

ps anyone selling any i would be interested where you are advertising them...

Hi,

You might want to take a look at this primer on eyepieces which has recently been posted here:

http://stargazerslounge.com/index.php/topic,27003.0.html

The Meade 5000's are good eyepieces but it would help to know which scope you will be using and what "gaps" in your eyepiece range you are wanting to fill. The primer above might help you be clearer on that.

Many of us use the For Sale section of SGL to buy & sell equipment. This site is also very popular:

E.bay is occasionally OK but there is also a lot of rubbish for sale there so caution needs to be excercised there.

These are good quality eyepieces and are around £35 each from orion optics uk

I got mine from Smart Astronomy in the USA at $35 each half the orion price.
