Hi John,

You didn't put me to sleep. I'm interested to know what your thoughts are. And I appreciate your budget issues if you're studying. I'm glad you've looked through some of the eps that you're considering. I'm not sure why you want all your eps to have the same barrel diameter. I also wonder whether you would get that much joy from having eyepiece focal lengths so close together ie 3 & 5, 13 & 18, 30 & 35. Rather than 6 eyepieces, you might do better with 2-3 and a barlow. You might be able to affordably go wider with FOV if that's the case. I also wouldn't discount good eyepieces for your 10" scope. The longer you have them, the more value you get out of them. And many of us have eyepiece collections that are worth more than the telescope.

Anyway, I know you said you want to close the thread so I'll leave it there. Good luck with your hunt for good glass.
