Question Advice for wide angle EP...?

Hi,

I'm trying to (read: giving myself a headache) figure out a good EP for wide angle browsing of the universe's wonders.

I don't want anything that is too wide (low power) for my scope, and it would be a bonus if I could couple it with a good barlow for another level of browsing goodness.

My scope is only modest (like my budget) Saxon 909EQ2 (90mm F10 refractor). I have the 2 included EP's: 10mm (it's rubbish) and a 25mm (not much better). I bought a Saxon 4.5mm for lunar/planetary, but I dont have any decent wide angle EP's at this point.

I'm thinking something in the 30-35mm range is as wide as I'd want to go on a 90mm refractor... or is that over the top too?

Looking to do some serious time on my scope at IISAC2013!

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!!

Rob
