I've read that you really need to use good eyepieces on these big F5 dobs because the cheaper ones just dont work well at higher magnifications.
Do you think it's worth spending $300 or $400 on a good eyepiece (for this telescope specificly) ? I don't have enough experience to judge this and am worried about not noticing the difference between a $50 and $300 eyepiece.
If so is it only worth while for higher magnification eyepieces or will I notice the difference in quality with a 20mm eyepiece.
Thanks for your help, Makrus.

If you buy a Panoptic eyepiece it will cost you half the price of your Dob.I am happy with the 24mm Panoptic it's agood eyepiece Can you get to some other people with scopes and compare eyepieces.Thats the best thing to do before you lash out and buy.tony.
