Thanks guys,
Have returned the barlow and swapped it out for a skywatcher 6mm wide angle 66 aFOV.
I am lso going to order a 15mm from either Bintel or Andrews as advised.
figured it would be better to have more options than less
I can see what you mean, as when i look through the 25mm I get a much clearer (brighter) view than the 10mm. and the 4mm I got thrown in, is very dull and quite hazy. And is like just like looking down a straw
Only got a brief view with the 6mm, between clouds last night, but the view was much clearer, although still a bit darker than the 10mm.
Really looking forward to the 15mm, sounds like it will definately be the go to eyepiece. thanks for all the sound advice!

As for mars, yes it was definitely Mars, although it was around 10pm, so still relatively low in the sky, hard to describe, but didnt look exactly like a star, it was quite bright and hard to make out any detail.
Anyway, i will spend some more time on it in the next few weeks and let you know how i go!
