New & enthusiastic, but what one?

[Miaow]

All you need now is a couple of BST Explorer EPs, a TAL 2x barlow, a copy of Turn Left at Orion and a collimator then your sorted for a while lol

Not too much then!!

It came with

A 25 & 10mm eyepiece

2 x Barlow lenses

Is it worth upgrading these?

I have the same scope as you and I would say, yes, upgrading the eyepieces is worthwhile - i recently plumped for an Xcel lx 5mm which is a delight for planetary viewing. But...as most folk here will advise, spend some time with what you have first. You will get decent enough views with what you have and you'll know better in a few months time how you want to upgrade.

Excellent advise, thank you.

I will add the Xcel lx 5mm to my xmas list.

Good luck with the new scope Miaow, hopefully your nowhere near me otherwise you'll be suffering with the rolling sea mist. Keep us updated on how things go!!

That's a great starting point Miaow, you'll have loads of fun and some great views with that!

Thanks guys

According to reports there will be clear skies tonight!! So hopefully i will be getting my 1st views of up there

Just looking into webcams now too, i am into photography too so marrying the 2 together is the next step.
