As the 9mm would only get a run when conditions were great, I was thinking of getting 3 focal lengths. The next up in this range is 14.5mm then I think an 18mm. Is the 14.5mm too close to the 12.5mm, and is the 18mm too big a gap? Should I look at a different type to fill the 150x to 180x spot?
Mmmm. Decisions Descisions 
This is why I value advise from those with more experience.  |
If you are wanting opinions, then if I were going for 3 eyepieces in this range for your CPC1100 I would think strongly about the 9, 12.5 and 18- and for most nights the 12.5 would I suspect be the "high power" of choice (224x), with the 9 being used on exceptional nights.
