Hey!
To explain my motivation, I currently own the Celestron SkyMaster 8x56 binoculars and the PF80ED-A. I was thinking it would be nice to have the following magnifications:
8x (binocular)
16x (PF80ED-A with 32mm Plossl)
21x-63x (PF80ED-A with SMC zoom).
So far I'm looking into the following two eyepieces:
Celestron Omni Series 32mm
It has really good reviews in Amazon and that's cheap compared to other brands (http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-Omn...s=omni 32mm&qid=1463584581&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1).
Televue 32mm
It's much more expensive but the quality will also be better (http://www.amazon.com/Televue-32mm-...elevue 32mm&qid=1463584574&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1)
Anyone has experience with any of those two? Will they reach focus in the PF80ED-A? Any other recommendations?
Related to the question above, is there any way to know if a given eyepiece will work in the PF80ED-A without having to try it first since the only way I have to get them is by ordering them online?
One of the benefits of the PF80ED-A is that it accepts 1.25'' astronomical eyepieces, but looking some of the forums here, seems that some eyepieces don't reach focus? Is that correct? Any way to know before hand?
Thanks!
Pedro
