Hi all,
Sometime before the Mars opposition in August I want to pick up a decent higher power eyepiece; I'm thinking the choice is between an Ortho and a Ploessl, probably in the 6-8 mm range. Any of you out there have strong feelings/recommendations on this? I would like to keep it under $100.
How much difference is there between TeleVue (which has an 8mm) and say the new "premium" (NOT the Sirius) ploessls that Orion is selling, besides price? Is a Takahashi priced at $190 (7.5mm) really that much better than those $65 antares models where contrast and eye relief are concerned?
Any difference between the Orthos Celestron sells and what University Optics sells?
All opinions welcome. TIA, Rich
