Wow! We've just had a big shake up! There is just one advantage I can think off being in a huge earthquake (I'm in Christhchurch, NZ). When the city loses all power at night (no street lights etc - no light pollution) you get amazing views of the sky without having to drive to the middle of nowhere!
Back to business...
astro744- my intention is to use the barlow with the zoom. I realise it is pushing it to go beyond 300x but it would be just for on the moon and on the occasional exceptional night of seeing. I've already tried viewing the moon with the 2x barlow on my 6mm and 4mm plossl and can see the potential for pushing the zoom at least a tad harder. At this stage it wouldn't be worth buying another eypiece or barlow just for that tho - not until my astro budget is stocked up again.
asimov - yeah 100mm sounds about right - i don't think i need to have it exactly 3x was just wanting to push the mag up a bit more.
Thanks guys
Ben
