changing scopes

I am buying an 11" carbon fiber OTA from HAP IN HERE.I was using the sct8" because of the different light gathering abilities how should that affect eyepiece. I have a celestron Ultima 32mm,20mm nagler type5,16mm nagler type 6, MEADE 18MM SWA THAT i WILL BE SELLING, AND LASTLY A 13MM NAGGER TYPE6,,FOR LOOKING AT PLANETS CLOSE UP AND GALAXIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT WHAT SHOULD i BE 8) ADDING...i ALSO HAVE A 2"POWER MATE FROM TELEVUE

plus GOING FROM AN 8 TO AN 11 HOW MUCH BETTER ARE THE VIEWS GOINT TO BE????bigger????brighter???CAN'T WAIT TO GET IT

Hi Terry,

Other than maybe a 35mm Panoptic for lower power with a wide field you are pretty well set on eyepieces for deep sky and general views and the pwoermate plus shorter Naglers should cover the steady night for planet views fine.

The reason these all work well is that the f ratio of the scopes are the same (both f 10) so you keep the same exit pupil or "power per inch" of diameter relationship.

The views through the 11" are really much more satisfying than an 8" and noticably better than a 10" from my experience. Galaxies and Globulars especially. Many of the brighter Messier globs start to show unique appearance and color hues compared with each other where the 8" was happy to just resolve mainly. You'll definitely enjoy the upgrade!
