sorry, no inference to your posts or thoughts matt, sorry if it reads that way. I have talked on the phone to myastronshop and i am very impressed that he sells what he would use!!
ie "i do not think he would sell crap" I won't say catergorically he won't , but i trust him!
yes definately pick up the phone and have a chat.
also, don't agonise over this and waste viewing time. I have suffered the old what should i buy , should i go a nagler etc etc
at the end of the day, even if you have series 500's, a collimated scope, then your viewing is still very good. it may not be the best, but gee it is still beautiful up there in the sky.
Yes don't rush in, but don't take all year agonising about what jupiter may look like through a 5mm or 6mm. At the end of the day, a $49 barlow may give you those views you are after now, and even if you have to throw it away in 6 months, i would say that it was a great $49 spent if it enables you to see something you are hanging out to view?
