What's Your "Sweet" Eyepiece?

[Kanadalainen]

For my dob:
My main scope at present is a large dob. My 28mm 82* ES is extremely useful @ 59x and this provides a nice wide view even with 1650mm of focal length.

For my refractor:
Any one of my Leitz Periplans or the old Zeiss Orthos (which look like they turned up in the sock drawer).

Similar to you Piet, I choose my 17mm TV Nagler. With my 3000mm SCT, and directly in the back of the can with the upgraded Peterson mount, the clarity is just stunning.

I like my old Orion 22 mm 65 lanthanum on my dobs its my best eyepiece but I cant afford the great TV ones

They were made by Vixen and indeed very nice performers.

Hello all,

it used to be the sweet sixteen, getting older it is now the sweet seventeen.

Best,

PS: To avoid any sort of misunderstanding, the above numbers are in mm

For every observing session, I always have these three:

11mm 82* Explore Scientific
24mm Pan
28mm RKE (cause it's just fun to use)

I might take a few others out, orthos and plossls mostly, but I always pack those three

Nowadays I really like the 17mm Baader Hyperion paired with the C9.25. The field is just as wide as it makes sense, the image is sharp to the edge.
