New Scope very excited Empty
PostSubject: New Scope very excited   New Scope very excited EmptyTue Aug 23, 2011 11:10 am

Hi Can anyone help with unbiased opinions,
i have just recieved my new meade lightbridge 8'' .
i am very very pleased with it but it comes only with a 26mm 2'' eyepiece.
crystal clear but i was wondering if anyone can suggest first upgrades for it, what eyepieces should i be looking at? i have some 1.25 lenses on my sons skywatcher, 2x barlow , 25mm super plossl, 10mm standard, but the quality arent up to much and dont do my new scope justice.

do i steer clear of wide angled stuff? do i not go above certain strengths?
and does anyone reccomend the zoom eyepieces?

or any other ideas for 1st upgrades would be appreciated.

Nice scope you have there and a combination of an 8" DOB and 26mm eyepiece is great for all round viewing.

My choice would be a good quality 10mm to get the most out of moon views and smaller DSO's with maybe a good quality 1.25" barlow Very Happy
