I wonder at what point, you actually get something back for the money you spend, when going from a plossl to justifiably expensive?

I do like the extra glass - width wise - at the top element in which you look through on the 1.25s ... BUT ... I have seen some crappy ones that come with the extra glass on top.

2" I had last time was mainly for wider field of view ... although I am thinking of 2" UHC filter this time for Carina ... Definitely worth considering I think???

I will once again be getting some Plossls that come with the GSO dob and my mate has an Aray of EPs as well. I think I will just go bank the money for the dob ... possibly put in a post on the best collimation tools ... (after reading some what on the 16", I think the mirror springs all round are questionable and reason why I had to previously collimate so much during my vewing sessions...Too much tourqe from the mirror whilst swing the dob through it's arc ... I always thought it could of been an issue ... now I will be watching that one....ANYWAYS...sorry thinking out aloud here...

I'll have about ... $1500 minus the postage on the dob ... (actually will decide against it if I think postage is too much ... last time it arrived with a DENT in it courtesy of TNT...in fact I might even pay more somewhere else this time just because of that....

Feel free to help me spend it ... as I will need a chair ... and maybe even this time get some gear to help with fog and due ... I need foam for transport and a few other things...or lot of...

argh...they have left out the 32mm 2" EP this time...
