Thanks all for your responses,

From the look of things, it sounds like I can see nebulaes without the filters. I have defintely come across some small greyish "brush marks" in the sky but I wonder if those are nebulaes....

Iceman.... DGM NPB... what do these stand for and where can I get them for $80??? If the 1.25' is $80 I am guessing the 2' would be a whole lot cheaper as well.

What about the Sirius Optics or Baader ones that go for $180 or $210 respectively? Has anyone had any experience with these?

I will have to go for the 2' ones... only because I wear glasses and I sometimes find it hard to look into 1.25 inch eyepieces, especailly the small diameter ones like the 6.9 mm..., I almost need to look at it from an angle to see venus! Most times it really hard to see objects as it is very dim, and constant adjustment is needed to keep it in its FOV, with a dob it can be a real nightmare.

Speaking of 2'... what is the lowest 2' eyepeices thats available? The lowest I have seen is the 26mm..... I have not seen any 2' with better maginication than this....

As long as the price is relatively inexpensive, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a 2' 6.9 mm for example....
