Nexstar 6SE. Planetary Eye piece


Recommended Posts

Just treated myself to the Nexstar 6SE and was after advice on a good eyepiece for viewing planets.  l rather like the Baader Hyperion's and have the 21 and 10mm and was wondering if the 8mm or 5mm would be better. l wear glasses so need good eye relief.  Budget up to the £100 mark. Thank you  in advance for any advice given

Just replied to the other "what planetary eyepiece" thread. Hyperion is nice as an allrounder in a slow scope. About on a par with the BST Starguider. For best planetary detail and excellent eye relief, the Vixen SLV gets my vote. I have the 10mm Hyperion and 10mm SLV, the Vixen is simply sharper. I always pull more detail with the Vixen. I keep the Hyperion for deepsky as the 50deg field of view of the Vixen is claustrophobic.
