Hi all, my first post on this forum very new to astro but def bitten and smitten. I have a 79-80 Orange Tube C8 that was gifted to me and after a few early ignorant wasteful eyepiece purchases I've decided to invest carefully and wisely. Barely missed out on both the 1.25 T1Nagler and Radian in the classifieds, damnit.. and the new TVs are just outa my price range unless I dont eat much. I am committed to 2" with a William Optics Dura Roto diag looking for widest brightest cleanest view poss given my setup limitations.I live in low light country SA and I'm not in particular hurry as I'm restoring the OTA at the moment Optics are in very good shape so I'm wondering if anyone has some pro and con advice /alternatives regarding the Siebert Ultra series particularly the 13mm and 2x2 Telecentric Barlow as a combo for planet and DSO, they are available locally overnight and 2 thirds of TVs etc so I'm tempted to pull the trigger, chrz Dbowie....
