Hi Jeanette,

I agree with Mike. I have used GSO super plossl's in the past (once had a 20mm and 12.5mm GSO Super Plossl) and they were really nice and sharp ep's (right to the edge of field and in f/5 scopes no less). The only reason I sold them is because I got addicted to wider FOV ep's with good eye relieve (I have astig and have to keep my glasses on while observing). I would wholly recommend them if you are on a budget. Also these ep's could be used when you get your dob later. Try not to buy ep's with a 25 or 26mm focal length or a 9 or 10mm ones as these are most likely to come with your new dob. I say go for a 32mm (the largest true FOV in the 1.25" size) and maybe a 12.5mm. One word of caution if you wear glasses, the 12.5mm has a limited eye relieve. Or you could go for a 20mm GSO superview ep. Those have received good reviews as well. You can get them for cheap from Andrew's Communication.

Hope that helps.

Darren
