Wow, thanks all! I've owned a First Scope (which was my first scope..hahaha) (sorry) a 60mm refractor and now an 8" dob, and obviously, the dob is vastly superior. Actually, a first scope has a larger aperture than the 60mm refractor, but could not give the views that the refractor gave, so there's a point - smaller aperture but better size and detail! Will check out the EP's mentioned...thanks - and if I could, a plug for the Orion Edge-on 6mm ep, very very good on moon viewing!
