Explorer 130

Hi, Can anyone tell me what are the fields of view with the standard EP's supplied with the Explorer 130. On the lens the only information I can find is Super 10mm and Super 25mm Wide Angle Long Eye Relief.

They are probably from this series: http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/product.php?id=87&class1=5&class2=502; in which case they have a 52deg FOV. They tend to come as standard with many Skywatcher scopes.

Terry, the specs for the standard EPs are here;

As I said before, I have this one too. The eyepeices do for a while but you notice the difference when you get different ones. I went for a set which came with a few filters, 4 eyepeices and a barlow. They're grand too but I think the 4mm that came with it wasn't really useful for the scope or conditions. I got them from america but had to pay a haffty tax bill. probably cost near £90 after that. Could have got a couple of nicer ones for that ish.

I think now I would maybe get 2 decent eyepeices. The polarising and moon filters were most useful.

Webcam worked well when used with the barlow.

Hope you enjoy it.
