wow, that's some great advice there! Thank you very much, brain still racing... A couple of things to add:

These were mentioned in one of the replies:
a 17mm Orion Stratus and a 13mm Orion Stratus.

I'm scouring the bintel website and can't find them, there's just bintel, meade and tele vue, am I not looking in the right place?

Could you clarify? More suitable then the 30mm 2" with barlow because? Sharpness of image or contrast or something else?

So seems like the Meade Series 5000 Ultra Wide Angle 08.8mm gets no votes? Better to start off with the orion or tele vue?
