Panoptic/Nagler Question

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Well, I personally own a Nagler 9mm type1 and the whole set of UO Orthos... plus some plossls on the side... ;-)

For planetary detail, IMHO, my UO Orthos are better than the Nagler... (this does not mean I don't love it, but it is just not meant to be a "High detail Planetary" eyepiece... IMHO again)(lets not talk about the FOV!)

If you are going for planets, I think you have some of the best eyepieces already, without going into the Zeiss Orthos or something else that will kill your budget. (unless money is no issue...)

Might also want to look into the Radians, as they are more of the planetary type of eyepiece from Televue... and I heard they are great...


My .02 cents well spent.



Clear dark skies!
