Ok, possibly going off my original thread topic, but I'll accept that a 3mm may be optomistic, it looks like the general wisdom is about 4.5mm to 6mm is probably the practical range for a high mag planetary ep for a dob with a 1200mm focal length.
While the televues may nice they are also very expensive. Would like to keep under $100 if possible.
Options look to be
- Meade hd-60 4.5mm for $100
- BST starguider 5mm for about $95 -from UK unless someone knows someone that sells online in Aus
- Gso 6mm plossl for about $30
- orion edge on for about $100

Any thoughts or comments on these or alternatives in the price range?
