The relationship b/n Scope and Eyepiece.
I'm guessing there needs to be a certain balance between expenditure on scope and expenditure on eyepieces; like the relationship between amplifiers and speakers. If one out performs the other by too big of a margin, you're wasting your money. Skywatcher doesn't appear to be bothered by the relationship. I've seen plastic bodied 1.25" Barlows sold with 200mm reflectors on an HEQ5. A couple of thousand dollars of rig and a plastic eyepiece?? By the same token, it'd be silly to put a $400 EP on a $200 scope - wouldn't it?
Do any of you more experienced boffins have a rule of thumb as to the relationship between scope and eyepiece?
Mike.
