I just picked one up. Its a nice addition but certainly not a "must have".
I'm curious what users think is the ideal high magnification ocular for this
scope...7.5mm? 9mm?


I think that a 7.5mm (with enough eye relief of course) might be good. I use
my 6.4mm Meade "SuperPlossl", and at 62.5x, its nearly as much as the scope
can handle (I have pushed things up to around 80x just for fun). I spend most
of my observing time between 40x and 63x on the PST and have had loads of fun
doing it. Clear skies to you.
