  1. Thanks Second Time Round I have looked at that Barlow at FLO. I wasn’t aware of the 1.5x so I’ll have to look at that. I have been looking at this set last week. Celestron 94307 AstroMaster Telescope Accessory Kit https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004KMC0UC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_woT-FbMAJMS4S?psc=1 My Heritage 150P dobsonian came with. 10mm & 25mm lens. This has a x2 Barlow, a 15mm and 6mm so all together I feel it gives me some good magnifications options. not sure if the Barlow can be used at x1.5 as I know they are by no means the best eyepieces but as long as they would be appropriate for someone starting out I would be happy with it. I know I need a moon filter, but the other filters I’m sure would soon prove useful. Appreciate any thoughts on the set I posted.
  2. Well! 8 years on I am bringing this thread back to life! I never forgot the good advice given to me on here. I never did get that scope back then, life got in the way and monies found there way elsewhere, a lot has changed since..... I am now a father to a 4 year old who is fascinated by Space, and whom asked for a telescope for Christmas. It has encouraged me to finally make that purchase and for us both to share those first experiences of looking at the the moons, stars, nebulae and a planet or two. I am happy to say I am now the owner of a Skywatcher Heritage 150P Dobsonian. I am now looking for advice on some starter accessorries to help us on our way. I am happy to take suggestions but I am thinking we will be needing a filter for moon viewing and also a Barlow lens (the scope came with a 10mm and 25mm eyepiece). We are only staring so not looking for top draw accessories, but something or fair quality for a starter. Still I am a novice an choosing the right and suitable accessories is something I am not confident with yet. So I would greatly appreciate any recommendations (or links) to filters, a Barlow lens or anything else you recommend for us. Thankyou
