Glenn,
I may be jumping the gun with this statement but a Barlow is a good investment. You will buy less eyepeices if you have one.
But NOT any old Barlow. May I recommend a 2" Barlow. As some others have discovered too late, if they bought the 2" Barlow they could've Barlowed their 2" EP's as well as their 1.25".
They are a bit dearer (to be expected) but once you have a 2" Barlow you can use it on all EP's hence doubling your range. I use the GS 2" 2x Barlow and I am happy with it. It was only $79 from Andrews!!
I also have the GS 2" 30mm SuperView and I like it too. Barlowed it works fine.
I have a few 500 series EP's and they are terrible.
I have an un-named (un-branded) 9mm and it is terrific. Even barlowed in my f5 12" dobbie!
It is a lot to take in, but eventually you will filter down the suggestions made and make your own selections, but please try to avoid the 500 series. They are dissapointing!
