thank you
for a 9mm eyepiece I could spend about 35 dollars but my options are very limited due to less equipment available here, for planetary viewing is this a good eyepiece it will cost me 50 dollars tho
Oh dang! Thank you so much for the awesome response. This is so helpful. I found this one on amazon. Would this be a good choice?
Celestron 93317 Omni Series 1.25" (6mm) Eyepiece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00008Y0S8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hMW1Eb44851Z0
A 6mm celestron? This? I mentioned several times to avoid 6mm Plössl-type due to short eye-relief. If you can, cancel the order / return it.
thanks for the quick response. I actually already have a 6mm eyepiece coming. It's a Celestron omni from here: https://www.amazon.com/Celestron-93317-Omni-1-25-Eyepiece/dp/B00008Y0S8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1487712532&sr=8-5&keywords=celestron+omni+eyepiece
Not sure if it's any good, I didn't order it. It was actually a gift so hopefully it's at least descent. I thought about getting a 4 but I guess in my ignorance I didn't realize it wouldn't be practical. At least I didn't order it. I'll take a look at the gold line clones since $45 is more than I'd like to spend on an eyepiece right now.
There is a Celestron 6mm from Amazon, is this comparable?
I'd rather not have to deal with an ebay-like site but if the difference is big enough I would.
Cool, thanks for the info. I am just going to stick to visual for now! Would this be a good eyepiece for planets? Some of the other 6mm ones take ages to ship to Canada. Or maybe even an X-Cel 7mm from Celestron (although it is $130 in CAD!)? https://www.amazon.ca/Celestron-93317-Omni-1-25-Inch-Eyepiece/dp/B00008Y0S8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=6mm%2Beyepiece&qid=1595462353&sr=8-3&th=1
