Eye Piece Set For All?

[hms_furious]

As I have been bugging everybody with newbie questions I hope you don't mind another. 

As you may have seen, I have bought a 127 mak and had some helpful advise for eye piece upgrades. 

It got me wondering. My long term thinking is presuming we get heavily into this, I'd want to upgrade to something with some more aperture like the 300p. Now if I did this, is there a good combination of eye pieces that you could get to master all or to get the best out of it likely need very different ones? 

Thanks again all

There is a very good post explaining the eye pieces best suited to different scopes. look here.

 

 

By the time you get to a 300p you may well decide that 2 inch eye pieces will be better. Welcome to the forum by the way.

Especially when it says TeleVue...

<--- 13mm Nagler type 1

<--- 13mm Nagler type 6

 

And below... my 'one-to-many' TeleVue 13mm e/p's for size comparison.

You may find this thread started by another member on eyepieces for his 300P dobsonian of interest if that is where your future path may lie:

This is what I though. Along with everything else, you may as well just get a load of cheques, write the to line on each one individually as "telescope", "mount", "eye pieces" etc etc and just leave the number off! Thanks again

FWIW... TeleVue Plossl's start from £90.00GBP and Nagler's start from £310.00GBP.

All 'premium' brand eyepieces tend to retain the prices with modest depreciation value... even when being sold second-hand.

Many people cough and laugh at this one...

it is the SkyWatcher 2"/28mm LET|LER Apex and I have seen these being sold second-hand for silly money.
I purchased mine second-hand for silly money too... £7.50 inc. P&P... and to be honest, I am proud of it and
I don't care what others may think or be thinking.

I wouldn’t worry too much about your potential future needs for two reasons:

1. Your EP preferences (AFOV, eye relief etc) will evolve over time, so anything you buy today may not be what you want in the future anyway.

2. Your Mak, being a “slow” scope, is very easy on EPs and there are a great number of cheap EPs on the market that are very good with slower scopes, the BST Starguiders for example. You could buy a whole set that works very well with your current scope for the cost of one single high-end EP.
