eye piece question

[space3]

hey guys,

just wondering does anyone own these EPs, and what are they like, im currently using celestron plossl EPs, and would these be much better, televue nagler 16mm type 5

televue nagler 9mm type 6

any views appreciated

[brantuk]

Well if the Celestron plossl was a nissan micra - you've just hit on the Rolls Royces and Bentleys of eps lol - that's one big yes

[space3]

thanks,

Iseen them going second hand, im tempted:D

[brantuk]

Well - shhh! don't say anything or everyone will be after them lol - good luck

Although I've never used them, I'm sure they are amazing.

Am I right to think even one of these 2nd hand Nagler will cost more than a whole set of Celestron Plossls

Hi space 3

I do own 2 Naglers a 12mm T4 and a 17mm T4 and agree with Brantuk 100% they are great eyepieces IMO if you have a chance of getting them second hand buy them

and look after them and they will last a life time, If you do get then let us know we love to here what you think

The Celestron plossl set with filters, barlow and hard case sell new for around £120. I've rarely seen s/h naglers advertised for under £200 (each).

Definately! I have the 9mm type 6 and its brill. If you can try and buy them.

hey folks,

I met up with the guy selling the EPs yesterday and I bought them,

now just to get out and try them out:D

they look impressive, way heavier and bigger than the celestron EPs

I've owned and really enjoyed both those eyepieces

I only sold them to get the 8mm and 13mm Ethoi

Expensive habit though

for me the thing with Televue and Pentax and all the other top brands is that you generally know your view could not be bettered by anything else. there are subtle differences in the top brands but they are all as good as it gets and you therefore make the most of every observing opportunity you get.

with faster scopes (e.g. f6 and faster) you'll see an even bigger jump im performance.
