Deepblue,
Onya for getting the GS12". Yep, I've got one too and can't fault it!
The GS eyepieces supplied are fairly good. I just hope you didn't get the 'Series 500's'. They refuse to give crisp stars in the best of seeing.
Is your GS 30mm Superview a 2" or a 1.25" barrel?
Many of us own (or have owned) the 2" and they are reasonable. Great for locating Galaxies, but they turn stars into double tailed comets (seagulls) in the outer third of the eyepiece. Otherwise they are OK.
I use my GS 25mm & 9mm Plossls quite a lot in my 12". But my Pentax XW7mm really shows how good these scopes really are!!!
Don't be too fussed about getting better EP's yet as the GS ones will do you for quite a while.
Also, did you get the Rack and Pinion Focuser or the Crayford Focuser?
