Hello warped, welcome to SGL, glad to see the old astronomy bug has resurfaced in you. Dublin isn't to bad, only a short trip to wonderful dark unpolluted skies. I lived just south of you over county Wicklow border for some time

Well I certainly would only buy 1.25" eyepieces in future.. They can then be used well in any future scopes if you move on to any -

Plus they claim its F/15... But that is only with the Barlow you must use..With many of these scopes its a case of "caves emptor" - buyer beware... -

I think it normally said the other way around 1.25" to 0.965" If you go to a shop take an eyepiece with you and say you want a adapter to make it fit a 1.25" focused. Found one £9 on ebay.. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/261810490154?nav=SEARCH Could check out astroboot or any other Astro shops online for prices. -

As I thought then 0.965 eyepieces.. You need just an adapter for that. Or get 1.25" eyepieces..
