Alex, the National Geographic telescope is a Skywatcher 6" Dob. If U look at the specs of the 6" Skywatcher on the Bintel website, it also comes with Super eyepieces. I have used Super eyepieces and though they beat the H type easily, they are only just adequate and that is why I suggested the Vixen eyepieces. The other bits and pieces in the package are incidental to the scope and if they are of use, well that is a bonus.
The main point of considering buying a Skywatcher from National Geographic is that it includes the delivery fee, to what appeared to be a remote destination in WA.
Some of us live thousands of kilometers from the better telescope shops, and really have to factor-in the burden of freight costs when considering a purchase.
