Baader Planetarium
Should I buy this Eyepiece for Saturn Viewing?
Baader Planetarium Hyperion Eyepiece: Comes in 3.5mm, 5mm, 8mm, 13mm, and more. But for $120 EACH I am thinking of purchasing just ONE for now.
I am awaiting shipment of my brand new Celestron OMNI XLT 150mm 6″ reflector, 750mm Focal Length, F/R=5
I was going to but the “complete set” from Celestron for $150 since it has like 5 eyepeices WITH filters AND a nice case. but should I just buy like 1 of the expensive ones that alot of people seem to love. I was thinking either the 5mm or 8mm to make Saturn look as nice as I can..
What do you all think??? Thanks alot everyone.:)
But you’re still in the 1.25″ eyepieces.
You should probably invest in a 2″ focuser – about $50 on EBay.
Then 2″ Eyepieces and filters. Start (with the filters) with a lunar filter and a nebula filter (Total on Ebay about $130), and a 20mm 2″ eyepiece from Owl Telescopes (about $75).
MUCH better viewing.
For Saturn I use a 15mm 70 degree AFOV with a couple of filters stacked to enhance the bands and the rings. BEAUTIFUL.
(I have an 8″ SCT from Celestron – one of the old manual Orange Tubes).
Cavaet: When you go to a 2″ focuser, you might have to add additional counter-weight.
Email me if you have any more questions.
