Thanks again Alex

I don't mind cheap, I am quite happy with my 12.5mm, but not knowing enough about optics and reading how the ones that usually come with the scope aren't that great I decided its time to increase my viewing pleasure, seeing I can't see colour nebulas (yeah I'm one of those crew), but the best Jupiter I've seen I was only able to make out 4 bands of colour. The 6mm is garbage even to my eye. I have to wonder whether a 9mm would be better than a 6mm, but then maybe my current 6mm is way worse than even I think it is.

So now I will probably take your advice and try these eye pieces on for size. A barlow probably wont do me much good with all my light pollution!
