Eyepiece or Barlow?

[Bryan196]

I am now in the market to buy some new eyepieces and have my eyes set on the Celestron Xcel lx range. I'm replacing my 20mm and my 10mm for sure. I was thinking though, would it be worth getting a 6mm, or get a Tal 2x barlow for the other 2?

Hi Bryan. The Xcel-LX are an excellent choice and will be a huge step up in quality to the supplied eyepieces. I would probably go for the 6mm as well instead of the barlow as they are not much more expensive than a decent barlow to start with.

As good as the TAL is, i would also suggest buying the 6mm.
