Ha!
To be honest, my favorite mag for messier stuff is between 60x and 80x. The 6mm would give me 80x, the 8mm 60x. So it's not out of the question, but I don't want to collect too many EP's for this scope.
I have heard (from Dave47... Gee there's not really anyone else I talk to is there? I have to get out more...) that radians don't take barlowing to well. I have briefly thought about an 8mm + 2x barlow, but why carry a barlow around when I could just get the shorter eyepiece and get a better view? It's only really going to be a travel scope so I don't want to over complicate things and start adding barlows and toucams and...
geez my mind works overtime when I have a wad of cash to spend.
At least this time I have looked through my scope first and determined exactly what mags i need.
There needs to be a smilie with twiddling thumbs and an astromony shop in the background.
