Makes a good spare dustcap for your focuser. When I sold my ED80 I included one as a dustcap (lost the original one after swapping various 2-to-1.25" adapters & barlows around all the time).

I thought the title of your post was "Lesson Learnt".

Go get that 11mm cheapo widefield if you need another lesson.

You can get great eyepieces for around $50 and superb EPs for around $100, if you are willing to put up with a modest FOV.
yes, telrad good. Rigel quickfinder better for a small scope (i think... i have telrad and rigel quickie on the way).
