The selection of the proper telescopic eyepiece for a great telescope is
almost as fun as picking out the telescope in the first place and darn near as
expensive it seems. The difference that such an eyepiece can make is
dramatic...the difference between resolving the multiple bands on jupiter, the
Cassinni Division clearly and the festoons between cloud barriers, intead of
only making out the Red Spot and a couple of bands.
My intent is to make this table as complete as possible; however, I have generally chosen not to include economy eyepieces such as Super Modified Achromats (SMA) or eyepieces with 0.96" barrels. Your comments are welcome.
