Would I be better off buying a cheaper set to "experiment" with then investing in a better type like the Televue once I see that I won't need all these sizes?  |
The Meade 4000s are ok but I wouldn't waste the money buying those when for a bit more you could get the TVs. If you're unsure about which eyepieces you need there are plenty of posts here with other peoples experiences. Or you could go to the TV website which has a great article on the sort of pieces you really need (only three for an SCT). You could also go to a viewing night in your city and try other peoples eyepieces out.
Cheers
