Hi Cajen2
Thanks for the advice - hopefully the scope will be set up in a shed and moved out on a trolley for viewings. I will definitely check out the Baader Morpheus range you suggested. I would also prefer to buy 1 "good" eyepiece then several cheap ones that require upgrade sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the sound advice

Hi bosun21
Thanks for the advice would you be able to recommend 3 lens sizes from BST as a starting point based on my observation needs?
Thanks

Hi All
I am going to purchase my first telescope shortly I have read the wealth of information here on the forums (the stuff I understand anyway!). I understand that there is no one shop telescope and that astrophotography and observation are two very separate beasts. I have selected the following items based on my requirements (outlined below). I was wondering if experienced guys and gals would read and comment as necessary.
Budget £1000
Location Bortle scale 4
Requirement observation only (planets and usual starter DSO M-series targets)
Telescope StellaLyra 10" f/5 Dobsonian (best aperture for £ ratio plus good accessories listed)
Astro Essentials 1.25" Laser Collimator
Celestron Eye-opener Eyepiece and Filter Kit (has x2 Barlow)
I will have a red torch, sky finder app, Planisphere etc already.
I am getting it right for my needs? Are the eyepieces and overkill? Do i only need 2 or 3 extra eye pieces not a case full? The telescope comes supplied with fully multicoated 1.25" 9mm Plössl and 2" 30mm Superview eyepieces.
Your advice / comments gratefully received.
Thanks
Chris
