Awesome. I get the feeling I'll be purchasing some new hardware over the weekend. Currently have 9mm and 25mm plossl.
It sounds like one goal will be to obtain power to somewhere in the vicinity of
x180-x200. Would I be better off getting a 2xbarlow or another eyepiece (say 6.5mm)? Of course, the 2x barlow would give me x266 with the 9mm, so that would probably be a little high - wouldn't it?
Before I accumulate any more eye pieces, is it better to make the decision to go to 2" EP? Or am I better off staying with 1.25" for time being?
Recommendations for brands/types of EP's I should look for?
