Hey Starkler,

That's a great set of recomendations! A couple of quick comments if i may:

31 Nagler: Awesome, and in keeping with no budgetary limits, but a 35mm Panoptic is a close second at just over half the price.

12mm Nagler: Another awesome eyepiece, but spend the extra few bucks for the parfocal barrel extension.

17mm Nagler: My favorite eyepiece, bar none. Not entirely sure what use it would be in a combination with a 8-inch f/6 Newt to anyone owning either a 31 Nagler or 35 Pan.

7mm Nagler T6: This seems to be the quintessential planetary eyepiece with Dobs in the 8-10" class.

5mm Nagler T6: Controversial. Prevailing seeing conditions don't normally permit magnifications over 200X where I live. Observing out over a large heat sink, such as an ocean, does frequently allow for regular use of higher magnifications.

Clear Skies,

Bob
