Thanks for your advice Brian, you certainly have some nice gear!
I guess my enthusiasm got the best of me today, I pulled the trigger on a WO 90 with Feather Touch, before I got any replies here. No real harm done, it will make a fine guidescope down the track.
Now the next obvious step is an eyepiece or 3. I would like to try to get best bang for buck by sticking to the used market as I have done so far. I would like to try and get the widest AFOV eyepieces I can afford. I know TV's Naglers are pretty damn good from the reading I have done. Ethos are out of the question.But I need alternatives as well.
Also looking for guidance as far as eyepiece focal length,
The scope is f6.2 with a focal length of 558 mm. What should I get for:
1: planetary (realising that this scope will not be entirely ideal for this purpose).
2: Wide view star fields and expansive deep sky views.
3: DSO's - galaxies, nebula's, clusters etc.
I guess I can take some time to collect them but I would like to at least have one for when the WO arrives
