Hi again Suzy, As mentioned earlier I use an 8" Lightbridge f/6 as my primary scope. I am currently doing the Herschel 400. My primary ep is the Meade 26mm QX wide.
I use it because with its low power it gives me a nice 'real' fov for star hopping as well as picking up faint fuzzies that my higher power eps have more trouble with.
Certainly it is not useful for fine detail but for colour and for simply finding objects a good quality low power ep may give you more enjoyment as far as galaxies, globular clusters and colours than a high power ep.
Just my opinion because it suits my observing goals for now.
Brian
