Observing with small telescopes can be fun !! My quest here is to view 50 celestial jewels with a 50mm departmental-store telescope.

My small eyepiece collections
Just got some more 0.96" Huygen eyepieces from Surplus Shed.
So here's a pic of the whole family of small eyepieces together.
Most are Orthoscorpics and a lone Vixen 10mm plossl (w/eyecup)
I just got a vintage Meade Research Grade eyepiece recently,
very sharp! On the left is my work-horse zoom Celestron
eyepiece. All stored in a small plastic tool kit box ready for a
night of planetary observing.
The Giant and the dwaft size comparison!
Left: Pentax 14XL Right: Vixen 6mm Plossl
Just for fun...Pentax 14XL on my tiny 50mm refractor, the
cost of the eyepiece is about 8 times more than the scope!
