Can anyone recommend a range of eyepieces that don't cost an arm and a
leg that are good enough for a 6" Newt at 100x plus magnification (around 6mm in my case) ? How much should I be spending as a minimum ? I picked a cheap eyepiece up from eBay for about 30 quid but I'm still not sure if I am spoiling my experience for want of a few extra quid ... Ditto for a decent Barlow - the one that came with my scope is junk. Thanks ! regards, Andrew |

Sorry, yes I gues sthat would make a difference :-)
Its f/l is 750mm and yes it is 1.25" for the eyepieces. Regards, Andrew In article , tim.auton@uton. [groupSexWithoutTheY] says...
