Its a bit tricky as to whether you get the Celestron set - $50 postage is pretty good, so maybe worth it, then you have a good set in a case. Probably a good idea if you can afford it.

Down the track though, you may find you only use 2-3 EPs, your favourites.

Widefield EPS are great, as you peer through the EP, and there is a large area to see, and your eyes just travel round and round, wow!!

The Hyperions are good EPs, and have 68' FOV.

Naglers can have 82'

Many others

Other EPs have a smaller FOV, though these can be sharper, but many sit about the 60' give or take.

The almighty Ethos has 100', and most can only dream about those, as they are about ~ $600.

Am sure others will have their favourite widefields too.
