Help!!!

HI,

I just assembled my new 8 inch Reflector Dobsonian mounted. I have 25mm & 10mm Plossel lens's (1.25) and a 2.5x GSO 3 element Barlow. I have collimated using the laser device which was really easy and will double check with a Cheshire. I also have a 2" inch adapter.

I am wanting to know if this is sufficient / suitable gear to view mars with on a good night? (Victorian)

Also, should I be buying 2" lens's. I am unsure if wider means less magnification?

many many thanks your assistance this enquiry,


Peter M.
