affordable good quality eyepieces was created by fguihen
another question guys, with regards to eyepieces, and teh scope im getting, which is a 6" mirror and a 1500 focal length, that says that a 5mm piece will give me max mag for that scope, so i want to get a 5 mm piece, a 9mm piece, theres the 25mm piece that comes with the scope, ,and a 32mm piece for deep space objects. i cant afford televue pieces, what are good pieces in the range of 60-70 euros(ish)? Some people recommend the GSO pieces you can get cheaply on ebay, but im a bit dubious about buying cheap pieces on ebay.

i placed an order with them a few months ago and heard nothing. other people on other sites also had the same problem. i think they have gone out of business.

After making enquiries I have now been told that Scopetronix business has "been temporarily stalled"
due to a "personal issue" that I will not go into here and that "The company will move forward one way or another" at some stage in the future
I am not sure how long this will take but wish them well in the future as they provided a very good service in the past
