Hi Malcolm,

I appreciate the input and I have found that with the 6.7mm and the 6mm tmb before it the scope was feeling close to the limit, difficult to get a sharp snap-to focus.

The stars seem much more vibrant/brighter in the longer focal length eyepieces and the GSO SV was superb to my crummy eyes.

I will certainly be inspecting the eyepieces in future, I've learnt my lesson twice now!

Any recommendations for perhaps a wider field eyepiece or have I got it about right with the 15mm?

I was hoping for something in the 30mm region with a wider FOV to give good immersion but alas only a 1.25" focuser and typically when looking at eyepieces, I'm wanting them to be suitable for my larger dob so I don't wish to re-purchase.
