Thanks for the feedback guys. Poita, thats a bit disappointing on the usb eyepiece. I dont think Ill bother if it wont show us any colour. I was hoping that on the computer screen I could see nebulae in colour like the pictures. Sopticals, I found a GSO Super-Plossl on Ebay for $30 +$10 postage not sure if the Super-Plossl is the same eyepiece as the GSO Superview or if this is a good price for this eyepiece.I have a 3x barlow with our little refractors, its probably not good quality tho as the eyepieces that came with it were kellner. Max i agree.. being a fulltime single Dad on a budget I dont want to waste money on junk, and I dont want to turn my 3 kids off astronomy with disappointing results , They are so excited about picking up the 8" dob this weekend and would much rather them out looking through a scope than sitting mindlessly in front off a tv or video game. I also found on Ebay a set of TMB Planetary II eyepieces 9mm 6mm 4mm which has the 9mm you mentioned. Are these any good for our scope? They are $169 with free postage.The add states a FOV of 58.When you say "saving for a decent eyepiece" and "wider FOV"what kind of $ are you talking?What FOV? Any suggestions on brands?Im wondering if anyone has any advice on the filters,Ive been reading different forums all afternoon and the impression I have got is dont bother with the different colour filters at the moment and maybe get a moon filter and a "O III" what do you guys think? Thanks again for all your advice
