GSO 2" Barlow

Hi,

I'm a newly proud owner of my first telescope, a meade 10" lightbridge:
http://www.meade.com/lightbridge/index.html

Using the provided 26mm QX Wide Angle 2" Eyepiece at Saturn, I wanted to get a closer view then the current 50x magnification the EP gives me.

I don't have any plans do to astrophotography, just visual.


I'm thinking of getting a barlow and then shop on the 2nd hand market for addition EP's

I'm thinking of the Guan Sheng 2" barlow. Andrew's (I have not connection which this company) list then for $49 or with "ED" $79. Is the "ED" (extra low dispersion) worth the extra $30? Is this a good barlow to get? Will it work on my telescope?

Please help!

regards,
excited 1 week owner of a dob
