The diameter of the glass you look through is large and more comfy than looking through the pinholes on 6mm and above (I had one of them too!).

So, 32/25/20/15 or 25/20/15/9...

Then, get a 1.25" 2x to double the magnifications.That way you've got a range of magnifications for most objects form deep sky to planets.

I found the 9mm the smallest eyelens I would consider comfortable - my opinion , all down to personal choice.
I think we've gone full circle here!!!
Cheers and all the best
Doug
