Good advice, thanks. May I ask, is the Celestron xcel series 'better' than the Celestron xcel LX?? I ask as there is a general decrease in price on the LX series EP's it seems compared to the Xcel, although both types appear to have multicoated optics.

I intend to purchase an Xcel or even an Ultima x2 Barlow, a 12mm or 13mm Xcel (or LX) EP and probably a 32mm Xcel (or LX) also. I have decided to sell a very little used Sony R1 camera to fund the EP's so will have about £200 + to play with and may be able to put a bit to it if needed.

Thanks again folks !!!

Scott.

ps I'm hoping the seeing is better tonight. It's clear at the mo, but I do think visibility may well be hazy again this evening. Will still have a look at Venus, Jupiter and the Moon though.

Here's hoping .....

That's the latest version, apparently a big difference from the older version.
