Awesome, thank you all for your inputs!!

It would be now safe to rule out 4-5mm EP at this stage of the game for me....thank you all.

So I have this National Geographic TS 60mm that I have had for ages and currently getting my fix until my new TS comes. Its actually not to bad. I have been viewing Saturn(one brown band) and its 3 visible moons with at a 8mm @ 69x...I just thought we could go bigger with more aperture than just a 13mm (77x) or 8.5mm (118x) its just not much of a jump....o well. So from what I can gather, magnification isn't the most important thing but aperture to reveal objects.(correct me if I'm wrong)


Having said that ill be looking at a 7-8 and 13mm that will give me 125-143-77X. At least ill be playing it safe at one of these magnifications. From here on in I just its just a matter of buying the best brand really...Reviews indicate the Nagler is a consistent winner

Tony your very right, I do need to discover a personal eyepiece. Its the wet session and darksite gathering wont kick off till March next year, I may just have to wait till then. But I will go ahead and get one quality EP at least that's guaranteed to be a safe purchase.

Thanks again for all your comments. I'll do some research of my own with the give information you guys have provided me with . I will be posting back when I have purchased and tested the new EP!
