Yes I have read (most of) the EP selection article at the TV site. Just one of its recommendations was well over $800, but lots of good advice there. I should have said I'm not necessarily going to buy those 7 eyepieces immediately, or at all. That was just the theoretical spread that I calculated based on another article. But I still take your point about getting few, better, EP's.

I hear what you're saying.. buy EP's depending on you're going to be observing most. I do like my globs but I'd also like to have a high power EP or two for planetary. Interesting about the barlow.. some people swear by them, others never use them. I guess you have enough coverage of high power for your needs.

Thanks for the tips. I do intend to get at least one good Barlow. Interesting that you prefer the narrower FOV.. I don't have enough experience to decide yet! I hear what you're saying about the parfocal aspect.. that was one of my main thoughts although I forgot to mention it. Surely that's a great time saving feature.

Cool spreadsheet! I notice there's a BIntel 252 sheet there so I'll just use that. Lots of info there.. will check it out presently. I notice no Baaders there.. Did you create the spreadsheet? Thanks again.
