G'Day Jay,

Thanks for that info. You have good timing - I was just reading a review on the MAK127 and it said more or less the same thing about the eyepieces!

I can't help but wonder, if you buy a scope that says it can do 300x or 400x or whatever, and that sounds pretty high to me, how many people actually use that on a night by night basis or simply use really high quality but lower power eyepieces ?! I mean, how much magnification is needed to see Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye (assuming a 6 to 8" aperture mind you).

Tim
