Thanks everyone for your feedback.
I have ordered the 8 inch dob, and apparently it will be on my doorstep tomorrow. Seems pretty fast from Sydney to Brisbane...
The package I am getting does include a 26mm 2", as well as 15, 9 & 6mm 1.25" eyepieces. I am assuming these are the GSO ones, which seem to be okay at lower mags.
As well as this, I have managed to rescue the parts of a 20mm GSO from the 6 year-old's toybox which I have put back together (it's more than likely had it, though).
I have been reading about paracorr fittings in a particularly feisty thread elsewhere on the forum, but hopefully will have enough for a decent eyepiece (~$200 - maybe a vixen?) in a month or so, and can get away without one (paracorr) for the time being.
As far as focal length for the next eyepiece, what are people's thoughts on this?
I hope I'm not asking too many "newbie" questions!!
