Hi all,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I think the 24mm Plossl sounds like a good starting point, especially since I can pick one up tomorrow and start using the scope (clouds permitting)! The Televue 25mm goes for $140 new (Bintel) and I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra $100 on this as opposed to the Bintel 25mm ($40)? Also, is the Televue 24mm a better choice than the ES 24mm?

For the more powerful EP, Varangian suggested a 6.7 or 8.8, whereas others have suggested something in the 10-13mm range. What will the difference be between these EPs? I'm assuming the lower the focal length, the greater the power, and thus narrower FOV (this stands for field of view, right?!)

Could someone also please explain what AFOV means?

Thanks in advance,

James.
