Eyepieces for Orion XT8

Posted By Doug Rhodes

Wow! So many suggestions. smile

I guess I asked for it.

I do like the Barlow suggestion since I wear glasses. I would like more eye relief. So, my first purchase will be a Barlow.

And then, maybe a 32mm Plossl. I guess I'll stick with the 1 1/4" EPs for now.

Thanks again.

I'm a beginner too and just ordered this gizmo http://www.telescope.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=65&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=6&iSubCat=29&iProductID=65 from Orion for my Canon PowerShot A95 camera. I haven't received it yet, but I'll post when I get it and try it out.

Hmmm. Sounds like you could although the thing might use the earth's magnetic field to determine direction. If so, a metal scope might throw it off.
