Eyepiece Sizes

[Andy38416]

Afternoon everyone.

I’m looking to completely overhaul my eyepiece range since I have my new Nexstar 8SE. It obviously came with the 25mm plossl eyepiece (which feels quite light). Along with this I also have a 7.5mm, 9mm, 17mm and a 32mm all skywatcher super plossl eyepieces, so about £20 each. On top of this I also have a 6mm TMB planetary eyepiece - though I suspect this is a fake - it was given to me by someone who got it very cheap off eBay and views aren’t great.

i’m pretty set on the Celestron X-Cel LX range, I don’t really want to be spending £100 on each one, so the Baader Hyperion’s are a bit out of my price range.

but I wondered if anyone had an opinion on which sizes to get? My scope is F10 and I was initially thinking a 7mm, 12mm and 18mm. Though I was thinking is a 7mm a bit too much and scale down to the 9mm?

Just wanted some advice really, many thanks

The 8mm, 12mm, and 18mm BST Starguiders would work well in your scope without breaking the bank.

I agree, BST Starguiders are hard to beat for the price.
