I would like to buy eyepieces for my C11.

I have 32, 40 Nexstar eyepiece.

Acording to you which is the best combinaison in order to see the deek sky and planets. Some Nagler and Meade UWA 5000 ?

Thank you

I don't have a lot of ep's, but I find that I do 90% of my viewing with the truly great 24mm Panoptic and a Nagler 13T6. Both frame the DSO's I love perfectly, globulars mostly. I also use a 6.3 focal reducer for wider views. Only on a few occasions have I had the seeing to use a 9mm T6. The 24 Pan was my first expensive ep. It is the first one I reach for to begin an evening with my NS11. I often spend a whole night with just this ep.

For planets I have the 9mm T6 mentioned above. I probably need an 11mm or 12, but I haven't decided what kind yet.

I also love my Stellarvue dielectric diagonal. It provided much clearer views over the stock diagonal.
