It's been just over 2 weeks since I purchased my 12" Dob (my first ever telescope) and I have learnt so many names of stars, constellations, nebs and terminology, its been been fantastic and satisfying, love it.

I have been experimenting with the 3 EP's supplied - the 9mm & 15 mm plossi & the 32 mm wide angle. The views from these EP's are amazing and breathtaking. Now, obviously I don't know anything better and haven't compared any good quality eye piece to tell the difference but having noticed that the Televue range of Ep's are on sale here in Australia, can anyone tell me what I'm missing out from a viewing perspective.

I understand that from a quality point of view the TV EP's are superior - OK I can understand that because that is why they are so expensive, but what difference will I be able to notice if I compared the Bintel 9mm & 15mm plossi to the Televue 9mm & 15 mm plossi (or anything close enough to those spec?).

As an inexperienced amatuer will I be able to tell the difference?
