Oh and a note on barlows. Some recommend them on the basis that it doubles your eyepiece collection.
I used a Televue 2x Barlow for some time and well as a Televue 2.5x Powermate and frankly never saw better images with them than I could get with an equivalent stand alone EP.
I tried numerous times but always went back to stand alones.
Good quality EPs are the "gift that keeps on giving" they are an investment is future viewing taht will outlast your scopes if you look after them. IMHo they are a much better investment than barlows.
