Tweedledee Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Explore Scientific 14mm 100 degree *wide angle* eyepiece. It's big, it's heavy, filled with nitrogen and it's waterproof!! So all this rain shouldn't bother it . This is it next to an eyepiece from my very first telescope hundreds of years ago... And with the Bresser I got from Damian and a 26mm Meade Super Plossl... And next to my 10 x 50s... Also got a Revelation 2" 2x/1.5x ED barlow, to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Nice collection Pete We'll have to compare the 14 ES and the 13 Ethos at the next meet - that'll be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Kim, I've read a few comparison reports on the two eps (Cloudy Nights etc.) and most conclude that there is little difference except the price. Not that either are cheap!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My thinking exactly - I'd still like to see it with my own eyes though - just for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi Pat, you will have to try out my ES in your scopes then. I just like big wide fields. Don't like to have the impression I am looking through a straw. My favourite ep used to be the 31mm Nagler 82 degrees. But that size Nagler is not suitable in my F4 scope, My eyes can't handle a 7.75mm exit pupil since over 60% of the light would be wasted. I am looking forward to looking through this big ES now, hopefully an even better "spacewalk experience". Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
