Hello!
I have been trying several different astro eyepieces for my meopta scope the last years. The astro eyepieces opens up new possibilities in an already fantastic scope.
For the moment i`m using a baader morpheus 12,5mm and a televue nagler 16mm. The baader is about 34x on the meopta and the televue is a 26x. The main big improvement over the original meopta okulars is the wide fov.
The nagler has a fantastic 82 degree fov but unfortunately the field stop on the 16mm is to large wich causes some vignetting in the outer 2-3% of the field. I found out that the fieldstop needs to be under 20mm to work properly on the meopta.
The baader is little different, with a fov of 76 degrees the image feels very large but not quite as big as the nagler. Still a lot bigger than the 30-60x with its 66 degrees
The morpheus got a fieldstop at 17mm so the field is sharp right out to the edges.
Meopta doesn`t build an astro adapter to their scope, at least i can`t find one.
I am using the adapter that meopta makes for the s2 scope for the s1 75 scope eyepieces. It is a perfect match for the 1,25" eyepices.
With a little finetuning you will get the eyepieces perfectly centered in the adapter. After that i`m taking little epoxy glue and permanently attach it to the adapter, with all the eyepieces i`ve tried so far it has worked perfectly.
The next project would be to try the more expanse eyepieces like the ethos with its 100 degree fov.
Would be interesting to hear others who is using astro eyepieces in spottingscopes and especially if someone have tried some of the eyepieces with 100 degrees and over.
I will attach some photos of the equipment.
Many thanks
