    The 12mm will yield 63x, the 8mm 94x, and the 5mm 150x.  Ideally, I'd like to see 75x and 125x which would be 10mm and 6mm for day to day usage.  Splitting the difference, the 8mm at 94x seems like a good bet for a first eyepiece.  If you find yourself wanting a bit lower power most of the time, get the 12mm.  If you think a bit more power is needed, the 5mm would be logical.  Personally, I'd lean toward the 8mm and 12mm combo under UK skies despite my initial 5mm/12mm recommendation.

    Thanks for your time and replying to my questions your help is appreciated 🙂

  2. Thanks for advice I bought the telescope second hand and it came with these eyepieces below. Also I have looked at the moon and mars but mars was a waste of time not enough magnification . What would you advice to look at Jupiter and Saturn not in view yet also the magnification of my scope is 300x max with the 10mm I am only getting 75x I presume this is why I thought a Barlow lens would be a good Idea.

  3. Hi 

    I am new to all this and have just bought a skywatcher 6" 750mm f/l. I have a 10mm 25mm and a 6.5mm plossl lenses. I am wanting a Barlow lens and I have seen a Revalation astro 2.5x Barlow lens and a  SVBONY 1.25 inches 3X Barlow Lens which would you recommend

    thanks for any advice
