Moonfish eyepieces

[nitram100]

Hey guys,

I am looking at buying a moonfish eyepiece, maybe this one..

http://moonfishgroup.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=50&osCsid=2fcc6a704de3d13eaab0568f6d276377

However, my scope is F 4.8 so it will probably look like Rubbish as my scope is quite fast.

My question is, how much difference would a Baader MPCC make? Would it allow me to use the Moonfish eyepiece?

Thanks for any help!

Could be two flaws in your plan:

1\ I've used the Moonfish 15mm and 30mm 80deg eyepieces in an f5 scope and it wasn't a pretty sight. But that all depends on how tolerent you are of out of focus stars from 50% out.

2\ Pretty sure the MPCC isn't corrected for 2" eyepieces???? Not sure on this, but could be a problem.

How about the new Skywatcher Aero ED 2" 30mm 68deg eyepiece? It's corrected for faster scopes, so almost certainly better than the Moonfish. It costs £105, which is a lot cheaper than a Moonfish (£69) and an MPCC photo/visual (£115). Also the combined cost of those two puts you up close to some premium eyepieces secondhand.

Hey Rus, thanks for the info.

You're right! It doesn't appear to be corrected for 2" eyepeices, i'll have to check that out. I hadn't heard of the Skywatcher Aero's i'll have to have a look at them.

Thanks for the info mate.
