This post was placed in the Yahoo Binoviewer group earlier today, so please ac cept my apologies for the repetition.
I just purchased a WO bino for my 80mm Megrez Fluorite Doublet (Apograde). The scope has a 555 focal length at about f6.9
I would like to get a pair of eyepieces for high mag observing of the Moon and the Sun (Kendrick solar filter).
I understand that some people do not recommend eyepieces shorter than 10-12mm for binoviewing. From your practical experience, which specific type of eyepieces would work well for observing the Moon? Which ones would fill the TFOV with the disk of the Sun?
I can easily merge most images as I have being working with stereomicroscopes for over 20 years. I do not wear glasses and have an average PD (62). I have access to above average dark skies from my backyard in Vermont. Thank you for your advice.
