Hi,

thanks very much for those replies, that has cleared up my intial questions.
Barry what you have posted is almost exactly right! I have a 2" 26mm, and 15mm and 9mm at 1.25" They are all made by bintel.
The Aperture of the scope is 203 mm and the focal ratio is f5.9, the focal length is 1200mm. (It is properly collimated)

As for how much i am willing to pay its a bit of a catch 22 question, Ideally upto $100 dollars, but if you were to tell me they would be no better than what i have then I would be prepared to pay more. (eventually)

Again as mentioned, I pretty happy at the moment but i am fairly sure a good eyepiece will be my next purchase so i am trying to get knowldeged up.

Thanks again for your advice I have taken it onboard.

BTW I do tend to buy a lot of stuff secondhand (the scope for example) However, its good advice to not buy anything when I don't know what I am looking at!

Cheers
Steve
