Thanks Mark

No one has really talked about the magnification issue in suburban skies yet which was one of my concerns on choosing a new EP. As last night showed 14mm or therabouts may be a good max. allrounder rather than the 10mm I have been recommended earlier. Or perhaps I am just doing my head in!

I take note of your experience between your two scopes but don't know much about Newtonians and your focal length etc.

You look like you are going to upgrade within a similar fov for better ER. I on the other hand am only looking to expand on my collection to experience the wide fov's available out there.

To dumb down the question I have on whether to get some wide angle EPs - is the experience going to be similar to upgrading your old 4:3 CRT TV to a 16:9 widescreen plasma or LCD? I certainly have enjoyed the upgrade on this at home!
