Eyepieces for celestron astro fi 6 sct

[Nickscope]

I have Celestron astro fi 6 and comes with kellner 10 & 25mm. I want to get better eyepieces, and I use the scope both for planets and deep sky. Any recommendations? Thanks

I will bite first (but wait for the flood gates to open). Best beginner up-grade representing excellent value for money are BST explorer/Starguider.

What is your budget?

As mentioned above, the  BST Starguider’s are good value for money.

I have a budget of £80-90 per eyepiece.

Do you wear gasses ?

 At f10 any ep should work in the SCT. 

Starguiders are very well thought of  but not the whole range.

 First decide on the low power ep to buy so anything in the 24mm - 32mm range.

Your next ep will be approx . 1.4/1.5x  higher  in power or something about 40x mag higher,  then one will want  approx. the same for next one ,

Once one gets to high power then closer mags are an advantage to hone in on a target.

Starguiders & Celestron Xcel lx  60 degrees fov.

OVL nirvana 82 degrees fov .

Vixen NPL   50 degrees fov 

Stellalyra /Founder optics ler planetary ep's 55 degrees  fov.

SV Bony uff ep's 10 , 15 & 18mm , 60 - 65 degrees fov.

For high power one could kill several birds with one stone the very good 58 degree fov SVbony sv215 3mm - 8mm zoom ep , cost is approx. £100 - £130 ( Much on the subject on the ep in this forum).

Deep sky one will want low mag ep' s  so 30 - 18ish mm, for planets medium - higher power ep's so 12  - 5 mm ish.

If you wear glasses then eye releif comes into play and one will want about 18- 20mm , if no glasses it will matter not.
