Well i've ordered the Pentax XF 8.5. Would have loved an XW10 but $420 was pushing it.
Next step is a barlow. I was looking at getting the Orion 2x Deluxe ($120) but an extra $19 for the Televue that astro744 recommended may just be worth it, especially as I plan on taking his advice and getting a Panoptic 24mm when funds allow. (or if one pops up second hand)
There wouldnt be any problems with using a televue barlow with a pentax eyepiece would there?
One last thing, what are the best deep sky objects visible before midnight at the moment?
Im having trouble finding anything above magnitude 5, especially galaxies
