danat, thank you for the offer of the loan of the eye piece. We may not take you up on the offer (no offence) as I would hate to see anything happen to it in transit. But we greatly appreciate the offer. And the luck that we are having with non clear skies since buying a telescope has been incredible.
Malcolm, thank you for your comments. If we go too big then I will build some sort of observing station. We are on a farm so space is no problem and I have various materials laying around wanting to be built into something.
doppler, that article is a great read. I ave read that and a couple of associated links.
As a general question on EP's what is a "good" FOV. I have found these online from America and England respectivell. Are they any good, if they are rubbish then please say so.
