Hello.

I've had my Skywatcher Skyliner 200p (which is my first scope) for about a month now, and have already upgraded the 10mm eyepiece supplied with the telescope with a 8mm and 12mm BST Starguider. I've been very impressed with both these eyepeices and even as a beginner I can see the difference in quality between these and the supplied 10mm.

I'm now keen to upgrade on the 25mm, but I've heard the 25mm BST isn't as good as the others in the range . I have a limited budget (about £50), and having done some research have narrowed it down to the following eyepieces:

- GSO 32mm plossl

- Vixen NPL 30mm

- Celestron Omni 32mm

- BST Starguider 25mm

What are your thoughts as to which would be most suitable for my scope? Are there any good alternatives to the above? 

Thanks in advance

Dafydd

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm glad that a lot of you approve of the 200p as a starter scope, I chose this mainly after reading comments on here.

I have also just received an email from FLO saying my telescope is being delivered tomorrow(after a wait of over a month with the coronavirus), so I am hoping for a cloud free weekend!🙂  

Hello everyone. 

I have always been fascinated with the skies, and during the last year I have started observing with binoculars and have really enjoyed getting to know the night sky.

I have wanted a telescope since I was a child, and have finally taken the plunge and ordered a skywatcher dobsonian 200p. I'm still awaiting this because of the delays due to the coronavirus, but can't wait to get started!

I have been trawling these forums recently and have learned so much from knowledgeable people on here, so I thought it was time I said hello.

Cheers

Dafydd
