While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

I have the LX200 10" f10.
I own a 6.7 mm Meade UWA eyepiece but I find that even with planetary, I do
not use it very often. I would be curious to know from others with the same
scope, which high power eyepieces you use, how useful is anything below a
10mm in your viewing experience, and any testimonials as to which one you
prefer?
Thanks in advance,
Doug
Doug,
I have several eyepieces including the Meade UWA 6.7. I know the Naglers are
popular but I do not have one. I do have some Pentax XL and a Takahashi 5mm.
On those once a year nights I can use the Takahashi and it is superb. Most
of the time I am using the 10mm, 14mm Pentax or the Meade 18mm SWA. I rarely
use the 6.7mm. Of all the eyepieces I have find the Pentax to be the best,
least distortion, max eye relief, less colouration.

Hope this helps
Andrew Jackson
