Essential Acessory

Now this only my opinion and I am no expert.

Based mainly on your ep selection, I don't believe the barlow would assist any. I stand corrected here!

The telrad is definately high on my list of preferances as an aid to viewing. I suppose you need to know what you are looking for, or at though.

I have had my 12# dob for a little under 12 months and it does not have the crayford focuser or the cooling fan, however, I ordered the telrad with it and apart from that had only standard ep's such as you mention.

I am more than happy with the Telrad and would have to say that was definately a worthwhile addition.

Following on from this I purchased the GSO 30MM wideview from Bintel which also was a step up in viewing pleasure. (Only draw back was, and this is my opinion only), was the cooling down time of the ep. It definately got better as the night went on.

I have progressed from there, but would rank the telrad and a wideview ep as a definate 1, 2 in next to purchase.
