Celestron X-cel or Televue Ploessl?

Posted By Walter Schmitt
I want to buy three decent eyepieces for my Nexstar 8SE below $100. Would a 12.5 and
25 X-Cel plus 40 Omni outperform TV's Ploessls 11 or 15, 25 and 40?

80ED williams vs celestron

Posted By Walter Schmitt
I am debating between the WO Zenith Star and the Celestron Onyx, both 80ED,
and put either on a NexStar 60 SLT mount. Can either be fitted and who has the better optics? Please help me. Walter

Nexstar 8SE

Posted By Walter Schmitt
This scope does not readily accept 2" diagonal and eyepieces.
How can I improve its deep-sky, wide-field performance over stock?

CPC800 vs LX90ACF

Both scopes cost $2000. What are the relative strenghts and weaknesses? Walter

Another 100° eyepiece is coming for $299.
Has anyone seen a review?

Good mid-FL eyepiece?

Posted By Walter Schmitt
I'd like to add a decent 17-20mm eyepiece to a 40mm WO SWAN for my 8SE scope,
preferably in 2 inch format. The 18mm Explore Scientific and 19mm Axiom have
similar weight and price. I am mostly viewing DSOs, doubles and clusters.
I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks, Walter
