Cheaper 2" Eyepieces?Posted By Steve Sands |
I am helping someone out whose father passed away. He inherited a StarMaster f/5.5 11" Hybrid telescope that is in excellent condition (now). However, there were only a couple of eyepieces and a 2" Big Barlow that were found with the equipment. The eyepieces are a 35mm Panoptic and a 12mm Type 4 Nagler. He is interested in learning how to use the telescope, but I think he may need a couple more to round things out. What's out there that doesn't cost $300-700 in the 2" format that would be worth considering? He doesn't have a very large budget to work with. I used to own some very good Russell eyepieces that were an excellent value ($65-70), but his are mostly in the higher power end of things.
Any suggestions? Maybe with the Big Barlow, 12mm and 35mm he is okay for now? That basically gives him a 6mm, 12mm, 17.5mm and 35mm setup. Thank you for any input you may have!
