Well last night we had a beautifully clear night and I was able to see Saturn's rings... man now THAT was cool. The 4mm eyepiece seemed to work fine, obviously the problem was with the atmospheric conditions the other night. The only bad thing was with the high magnification whatever I was looking out was out of the FOV within 5-10 seconds :S

One of the adjustment settings on the equitorial mount was quite stiff and sticky (quite like I was after seeing Saturn for the first time) so I have just pulled it apart, cleaned it all out and lubricated the cogs... now it just glides Should make things a hell of a lot easier to follow.

Any suggestions for what eyepieces I should get, or are the H4, H12.5 and H20 sufficient? btw what does the 'H' stand for?
