Hello all,
I was thinking, I know it is very dangerous to do that, about higher magnification with my C8 f10...
I currently have a 19mm Panoptic that I use with a 2X Televue Barlow for magnification of 210. This is usually too high for decent viewing, but I have seen some quite nice planetary views with this combination.
My question....would I be happier, or more satisfied with a 9mm ortho or some other less than $150 eyepiece?
While I swore that I'd never spend more on one eyepiece than I did on my first scope, I have since bought a 19mm Pan, a Pentax 40XL($150!) and just traded my first scope for a UA 32mm 2" Konig.
Perhaps I should just get some counseling...
