Greetings Everyone; I am going to buy a Orion XT 8g and I would like to know which eyepieces I should upgrade from and to which first. I have a TeleVue 20 mm plosel, a very old Edmund Scientific 15 mm RKE
and a 17.5 Meade plosel. Also I already own a Orion 2 X Shorty Plus. There
all 1 1/4". I am wanting to upgrade some or all of these eyepieces over
time with ether Baader Hyperion Planetarium or Explore Scientific 82*
series.
If you could only buy 1 or 2 of these eyepieces for this Scope now what
would they be as you upgrade, and from what out of the collection I have
to
what. (what would you upgrade from first and to what)
Thank's everyone in advance,
Mike White
