Tj, I just reread your original and subsequent posts.

You have a 6" Dob and 10 and 25mm super wide EPs. I assume these "super wides" are the same as what I got with my Skywatcher Mak. They are in fact neither super nor wide. They have the field of view (FOV) less than that of a good plossl and minimal single layer coatings. Is your scope a SkyWatcher or Saxon?

You could definitely do with some better eyepieces. And if I'm guessing right, you don't need to spend much at all to get something much better than what you have.

I'd forget about filters, but if you want to get one, you probably picked one of the better ones.
