No probs with the scope, very happy with it....collimation isn't an issue, just trying to learn what I can about barlows....i like the idea of having a greater range of magnifications i can go to, and if there's an added benefit of improved optics, so much the better...
(to be perfectly honest, i don't have enough experience to know if my eyepieces are mediocre standard or not - i like the views i'm getting, and i'm very happy with this lot.....)
i've got a 200mm F6 dob, GSO 2" superview 42mm, couple of super plossls that came with scope (25mm and 10mm) and a meade series 5000 5.5mm. I plan on getting a 15mm GSO superview, and a GSO 2" ED barlow....but there's a thought rattling around in my head that a telextender might be a good option, but more expensive... I'm thinking of a relatively high quality barlow as I see this as being something I won't be replacing in the near future, and i hope i'm right in thinking it will not be wasted with the rest of my gear...
