But find that the supplied EPs aren't really cutting it for DSOs and planetary objects. Here is what is i have

EP inventory:
*25mm possl - multicoated
*10mm possl - multicoated
*4mm celestron
*20mm celestron
*2" EP adapter
*3x barlow
From what i have been reading on some forums/reviews something with a higher FOV say 72-82 degrees are really good for DSOs. Also some reviews with my telescope given the right EPs can get decent views of some nebulas and other DSOs. Or have i not do enough research and my dob is restricted to get any real detail with DSOs
Can anyone confirm this or help me with choosing the right EP im happy to pay the price i just want to make sure its for the right equipment.
Any help or suggestions would be great !
