any EP that gives you extra contrast will allow you to see more detail... its alot like loking at DSOs. greater contrast will darken the bands on jupiter and allow a better view of the grs.......
gah! go back to imaging you, you imager!!!
with the advances in imaging why look thru a telescope at all.... you will see more detail in a picture of m42 than thru an EP so why have a telescope? why not just do a google image search for globular cluster... you'll get to see them all in one night...
why image yourself when you can just look at birds pics, they are bound to be better than anything you will see live.
er... am i making sense?
why look for supernovas when you can just see the results of someone elses efforts?
why knit a jumper when you can just go out and buy one?
sorry bout the ramble
yes, get a good EP for planets is what i am saying. not a nagler, get an orthoscopic or a good plossl...
still rambling

ignore my post... tho it gives insight into why i am into this science/hobby
