Thanks for the advice!
I notice on another thread someone advises this for an eyepiece setup for a 12" dob, which would be in line with what you are suggesting:
Low power = 30mm Pentax XW or 27mm TV Panoptic
Med Power = 16mm Nagler T5 or 13mm Nagler T6
High Power = 10mm, 7mm and 5mm Pentax XW's and a 8.5mm Pentax XF
I'm wondering about getting something like the Orion Premium 7.5mm-22.5mm Zoom (1.25"), or Tele Vue CS Zoom 8mm-24mm Dioptrix (1.25") as a starter, and then building up the other pieces and selling this later on. I know you don't get a great FOV though, so not sure if it would be a bit of a waste of a first step. What do you think?
