OK, that's a pretty unanimous answer. It's a little more than I would like to spend but it sounds like a good deal.
Thanks all for the advice

Hello stargazers,
I'm currently contemplating buying a decent barlow (I got a dirty cheap one when I bough my telescope).
From what I saw my best options are either a new Orion Shorty x2 (not the plus) for +-30 GBP, a second hand Celestron Ultima Japan x2 for +-50 GBP or a new Celestron X-cell LX x2 for +-70 GBP. If you beleive that something else could be better suited please let me know...
I am planning to use it visually on different scopes. I currently have a small 114/500 nat geo dobsonian travel telescope which I use mostly with a 8-24mm Celestron zoom (This is where is need more magnification, something lifht would be a plus) and a 130/900 Eq2 skywatcher (which I might upgrade to an 8'' or 10'' Dob ... not right now) with this telescope I mostly use my 5mm and 15mm BST starguiders (I m also looking to buy a decent 32mm plossl).
Obviously I am trying to keep my wallet from suffering to much. I would love to have some advice.
Cheers,
Raph
