Illuminated reticle eyepiece (for PEC on skywatcher synscan)

[Frenchgow]

Would the skywatcher 12mm illuminated eyepiece be sufficient to do the periodic error correction detailed in the skywatcher synscan instruction manual ,I'm using a250mm newtonian ,with a focal length of 1000mm,it does recomend at least 300x magnification ,does such an eyepiece exist? or can the 12 mm be used in conjuntion with a barlow len?

Just use it with a barlow.

Is your mount permanently set up? Drift aligned?

What are you planning to achieve with the PEC that you can't do now?

I only ask as i've been thinking about it for ages but just never got round to it.

Thanks for the comments,the scope is on a permanent mount in home made observstory,trying to get as accurate tracking as possible,the manual states that this is essential for astrophotography,? for my normal viewing i have no problems tracking etc,maybe that I'm over complicating things, but i think I'll look at a barlow with a illuminated reticule,Gow
