I would like to buy a couple of good low power 2" eyepieces to use with f/15 scope for wider view. Don't want to spend for Panoptic or Nagler class eyepieces as too expensive!
What are good alternatives for low power -

I know the fov for my f/15 scope isn't exactly impressive but I am itching to use a 2" eyepiece on it. How will the 1rpd work on it I wonder? Unfortunately Sam or Harlequin is now out of commission for the moment. I think they are taking stock of their entire business plan....
Who else sells 1rpd locally I wonder?
Has anyone used the widescan III 30mm eyepiece? Will the size of either the 1rpd or widescan III 30mm affect the balance of my LX200 7" GPS maksutov?

You are welcome to try my 1rpd out for a spin on your scope. PM or email me if you want to.

I think debash has just acquired a 30mm UO Konig for his f/12 MAK. You also can try using an f/6.3 reducer for SCT (i read it worked on MCT as well). You can go to up to 30mm EP before it starts vignetting (JY has the reducer, maybe can borrow?)Dear Weixing
Have you ever tried a KONIG on a slow scope before? I wonder if there are any optical problems with it...

Hi,
Most eyepiece will have problem using on fast scope, but a slow scope, such as your 7" MCT, shouldn't have any problems. Anyway, haven't try out the UO konig yet, may be I'll check out Debash UO Konig first on the next observation session with him.... look like quite difficult to have any observation session these few day if keep raining
Have a nice day.
