A surprise and short notice trip puts me in Beijing for a week in September (woulda been nice a few weeks ago for the eclipse). As my sig, I have kitted mysef out with the basics (read economy) and luvin it...but I fear that I should improve my eyepiece collection. I am hoping that I can do so over there. Does anyone have suggestions on where to go and if I could choose one new eypiece ... what should it be?....
Most of the quality EP's come from Japan(oentax/vixen) or America - Televue, don't know if you could them them cheaper there - the meade/explore scientific stuff i think maybe comes from there & the William optics Uwan's are from Taiwan. others may know more
Forget the eyepieces - bring a Bosma 200mm f/12 Maksutov back. Leave the box behind, put the OTA in a sleeping bag cover and it will pass as cabin luggage.
