    Useful page , and see what your saying now. . just can't help thinking a 5mm bst would be better value than a Barlow for rare occasions of planet viewing. Page is bookmarked for future use!

    Also. . does the 'no Barlow is best' statement not lead me back to thinking maybe a 5/6/7mm ep may be worthwhile for Saturn viewing? Money better spent on this than a barlow?
  3. craigfoot
    I see. . . can only see a 2" panaview? Also seems expensive
  4. craigfoot
    Would the basic Barlow not make the bst poorer quality?

    I need to work out what's the best xmas present option. . . bst 25mm, a planetary 7mm, a 32mm of some description or maybe a better barlow
  6. craigfoot
    Are you suggesting I may be better sticking with what I got and not getting the bst 25mm?
  7. craigfoot
    I see. . Good advice. . I was already thinking of getting the bst 25mm, so maybe a planetary 7mm and a good a good Barlow is best? Possibly a 32 once I've experimented more with the 25 Suppose I'm guilty of trying to rush into all options at once, where I should perhaps experiment more with what I got

    The view was good, but was my first view, so I guess going with a bst 5mm May be a good idea, then look for an improved Barlow

    My focal length is 900.

    The scope is f6.92 Would a specific planetary 5mm be a better choice than going for anther bst?
  11. craigfoot
    Oh I see. . I sorta figured with 32, 25, 15. 8 and 4mm eps I'd have a good range and no need for a Barlow. Which I think is sorta what this post suggested, although I think calculations for the high power piece suggests 5mm

    Lens cell?

    My standard 3.6 ep gave good views of Saturn last year and could clearly see the rings, I'm concerned I won't get the detail with a larger ep too

    I have the standard Barlow that came with the scope, but should I get a better one to match the bst eps?
  15. craigfoot
    I've got the same scope, I have the standard 10 and 25mm eps which came with it and also the skywatcher 3.6mm too.Recently purchased the bst 8 and 15mm eps. Both give great views. I'm thinking of investing in a 32mm ep and also a 4mm planetary ep.
