Can anyone out there tell me what is the recommended eyepiece to use with a Skywatcher ED80.It was supplied with a 28mm LER eyepiece, is this of any use.I will want to connect it to a Nikon Coolpix 6000, what will be the thread be on both eyepieces .
I have the connector for the Camera already.

What sort of camera adapter do you have for connecting to an eyepiece?

I don't know anything about the Skywatcher 28mm and whether it has a thread or not.

Eyepieces that I have that are threaded are the William Optics DCL-28. This has a 28mm thread for attaching to a camera adapter. The eyepiece is 24mm focal length which gives 25X magnification on the scope.

I also have a Baader Hyperion 17mm which is also threaded with two different threads, 43mm and 54mm I think. These eyepieces are quite big and heavy though.

Well, good taste Paul. I have 5 Hyperions for digiscoping. They have 33mm eyelens, 68 deg. field, and 20mm of eye relief. Have been said to compare with pieces costing 2 or 3 times as much. The 17mm weighs 384 grams. Are fine for the 80Ed. I have an Orion 80ED. It has the 2 inch focusing tube.

The SkyWatcher LER, called LET here is the states are fine for their intended purpose. I have 5, and four of them are going to my grandson for his Celestron 130SLT. They weight about 136 grams. I will keep the 2mm, just fantastic for star tests. I say they much better than the Epics, EdgeOn, and Expanse eyepieces.

The LERs in no way compare with the Hyperions, which have a wider field and much better view. They also fit the 2 inch focusers. Gene
