Another eyepiece question.....

[Pizza_m79]

Heelllo!

I've searched the forum read threads searched the web, online shops... til my eyes bled.

Newbie as i am i cant really decide what to get. The scope is a

Sky-Watcher pro 80ed. I've decided to go for 2" EP's.

Considerd the Aero Ed 35mm for one To that id like something to

try the magnification on this one, perhaps 3-4mm something.

One more 2" between those and an 2" Ed Barlow.

For terrestrial use i thought of william optics 45 degree 2" erecting prism.

Suggestions, please "mid quality not quantity"

The Aero ED is a relly nice eyepiece and will work well in the 80ED scope. If you could run to it I'd suggest the 16mm and 7mm Skywatcher Nirvanas - not 2" but excellent ultra-wide eyepieces. In fact if you got the 4mm Nirvana as well then you'd be really well set up

Come to think of it I don't know of any 2" eyepieces much below 15mm focal length

Nirvanas, yes ive considerd them also but

somehow im stuck on the 2" route

And why is that they dont have any "shorter" 2 inchers?

The larger format only delivers benefits in longer focal lengths - 20mm and above really. Below that most people use the 1.25" format. The shortest FL 2" only eyepiece (as apposed to a hybrid) that I know of is a 15mm.

Baader Hyperions can be used in either 1.25" or 2" format so they might be worth considering.
