Hi Barb & David,

I have the 12" Dob and I am a Galaxy Hunter and about the best EP I have ever seen 'Galaxies at their most detailed clarity' is the Takahashi 7.5mm ED LE.

I have used one at our last Astro Camp and these EP's bring out exquisite detail on galaxies. I am waiting to read a review about what else they can do.

Apparently they are available in South Australia but I am unable to find out where, but they are easily available from the U.S. at around $140 yanky dollars. The ED lense really helps sharpen up any faint detail.

Steve, Doug and Sue also go under the one username (dugnsuz).
