Hey Adam, congrats on the scope!!!! hopefully it will last you awhile before you get aperture fever and want a 10" .... like I did.

Its probably a good idea to stick with your 10mm and 25mm ..... they are good EPS. Do some research, and look out for a cuple more down the track. The 10mm will give you some mag. 2.5mm will be too much mag, but a 5-6mm down the trsck will be good. The kit from US will prob cost a fortune to post, but if not, then looks a good kit in a nifty case.

The telrads are great, and is what I used on my 8" while I had it. The only problem with them is that you have to stick them on, so makes a mess of your scope, for when you want to sell it later on??

Many people use barlows, but I didnt for many years, and am still trying to remind myself that I have a nice one in my box of goodies.

My fav EPs are also widefield ones, as Tony says, Suzy has done bucket loads of research there.

Look at peoples signutures to see what kinda EPS they have, and you will find there are quite a few that are widely used, thus pretty good and popular.

Enjoy ....... and clear skies!!!
