My 6mm does get used however only about 50% of the time. With your smallest at 15mm the 8.8 would be a good step to see more detail plus on nights of really good seeing then barlowing the 8.8 to 4.4 is doable.
thanks simmo, good to hear from someone with the same telescope and what they use. Can I ask why you went for ortho eps on a DOB ? I was going down the line of something with a wider fov to make push to easier, are the ortho eps better for DOBs ?
