I think you are right! Basically the 8mm is my maximum EP judging from the magnification level. -

That site is indeed very helpful! But I always found that it showed a green circle indicating OK status even if the magnification is greater than two times the diameter of the scope. I'm not sure what to make of that honestly -

So in my case with 1800mm and a 150mm diameter. Which eyepieces would you recommend and which barlow ( if any)? -
Hello dear Stargazers! Sorry if this been answered before but I couldn't find a clear answer. Lets say my scope has an focal length op 1800mm and a diameter of 150mm.

Good advice! Stellarium ofcourse doesn't show if the magnification is too much. Can you explain this rule? For example with an 150 mak -

Can you explain when I should pull out the barlow? From "playing" with terrarium i''ve found that I like to take it out when for instance I want to look at saturn and even a 3,2mm eyepiece doesn't show much more than a "ball" -

Awesome! But I got a 28 Apex 2" skymaster piece. Won't that overlap with the 25? -
Hello Gazers! I need some help ones again. Lets say I have a scope with a 150 diameter and a 1800 mm focal length.(f/12) I'll supplied with an 28mm eyepiece. I would like to know which lengths I should get? I'm in the market for PST pieces. These are the lengths they offer: 2x barlow 12mm 15mm 18mm 25mm 8mm 5mm 3,2mm All have a field of view of 60 degrees. In which order should I buy them? Clear skies:.)
