14mm planetary eyepiece

[paul mc c]

Hello all,looking any recommendations for a 14mm eyepiece solely for planets,must be a budget one to be used in an f10 SCT.

Any views welcome.

14mm budget EPs for planetary are pretty thin on the ground. At 15mm there are quite a few, but that is probably too close to the 16mm, whereas the 13mm are rather too close to the 12.5 you have. A second-hand Radian 14mm would be the cheapest option I can think of. I had one for solar H-alpha but replaced it with a good zoom for the H-alpah work, and a 14mm Delos for hunting planetary nebulae with the SCT

The Radian seems to be the only thing out there,the 12.5 is a bit to much and the 16 gives me lovely views but I think 14mm would be perfect in this scope.

THERE IS THE 14MM EXPLORE SCIENTIFIC 82 DEGREE BUT THEY ARE NOT CHEAP.

I had the Meade Series 5000 14mm UWA (MK1) which were optically the same as the ES. Very good EP, just a shade short on eye relief for me (14mm). Not that cheap, but not a bad price for such quality. The Morpheus 14mm is pretty close to XW/Delos in performance, but again a step up in price

There's this one on eBay if you fancy a punt at it. Not sure what the final price will be for it though.

I'd get a used 14mm Radian if you can.
