I built my kit around the telescopes I have. Mostly useful focal lengths for my 12". Some eyepices are used for planetary and seeing as deep as possible,some are for the whole space-walk experience, and some are novelty or grab-and-go type of setup. Admittedly some I haven't used for years. They just sit in my case and I lend them out to people who still use generic plossls that came with their scopes.

1.25"
Pentax XW5
Pentax XW7
Pentax XW10
Televue Delos 8
Televue Delos 14
Explore Scientific 24 68
Explore Scientific 6.7 82
Explore Scientific 14 82
Vixen LVW 22
RKE 28
Baader 8-24 Zoom


2"
Explore Scientific 9 100
Explore Scientific 14 100
Explore Scientific 20 100
Explore Scientific 30 82




Pretty much reached my eyepiece endgame now. There's no gaps to fill.

Something to keep the dust out of your OTA's when you loose the dust caps, one per scope is enough.
