Eyepieces collection

This is the collection after a few years of searching and looking around on the 2nd hand fora. The latest additions were the 33mm Willliam Optics SWAN, marvellous eyepiece, did me a lot of good in La Palma. This island has so dark nights that looking through a 33mm eyepiece gives a very nice view with a dark background. The latest addition is a 4mm TMB/Burgess Planetary eyepiece which drives my telescope to a power of 250x....

Eyepiece collection after 1 year of astronomy

When I was about 10 years old I borrowed the JWG 60mm self-built refractor of my nephew for 1 year. With that telescope the astronomy virus caught me. Here's a picture a similar one that started my hobby (the left orange one). I am not 100% sure, but I think this telescope came with a 20mm and 12.5mm huygens eyepiece. The nice thing is that my nephews daughter is now also using this telescope! So the family tradition goes on.






When I finally decided to pick-up my hobby again last year, I got a 10mm and 25mm plossl eyepiece with it. After 1 year my eyepiece collection is like this:

(from left to right):
5mm Univerity optics orthoscopic (200x), very sharp for planetary work and clusters
5mm Baader Planetarium Hyperion (200x), sharp and wide view
8mm Baader Planetarium Hyperion (125x), sharp and wide view
10mm Vixen Lanthanium (LV) plossl (100x), a real workhorse, nice eyerelief
21mm Baader Planetarium Hyperion (47x), very sharp and a wide field of vision
25mm Skywatcher super plossl (40x), original eyepiece that came with my scope
32mm Televue plossl (31x), for searching objects and viewing large objects.
