Hi all,

Very green on this but have come into possession of a Celestron 127 on an equatorial mount, a couple of really bad eyepieces (4,20, a melted 2x Barlow), not sure what the eyepieces have been through (viewing the sun?)

anyway, help with some good cheap eyepieces would be good.

I think I have collimated the unit well following youtube tutorial.

any help and advice appreciated.

located East Maitland NSW

:thumbsup: If the eyepieces' are 1 1/4 inch the best value for money are the. GSO superviews from Andrews Communication , grab the 15 and 20 mm ones.
For higher power just get the GSO 2x Barlow , all up under $100 , you would need to spend 5x this to better these 3 items.
