I tend not to recommend eyepieces since I've found that what's good for my eyes may not be good for someone else's. Instead I recommend going to star parties and actually using various eyepieces. Then buy what looks good to you. Patrick Paul C Johnson wrote:
I am looking to upgrade my eyepiece collection this year. Last year, I bought an 8" Nexstar. I love it so far but I bought the set of eyepieces that came with it for an extra $100. I am starting to think these eyepieces aren't going to give me very good images. I was wondering if anyone would be able to recommend a better alternative to me. I am a bit poor, especially after buying the Nexstar, and am looking for some nice mid range type of eyepiece. I have considered the Meade 4000 and Celestron Ultima eyepieces.
Any recommendations out there?
Thanks,
