Celestron EP kit vs. Astro-tech EP kit

[Veegs23]

Which would you recommend?

best off buying indavidual e.p.s to suit your needs, the kits are good but you will probably only use a couple of them so the rest will go to waste.

Faulksy is right.

I went for a smaller selection of better quality EPs, rather than a big box of lower quality ones

I went ahead and got the celestron kit. It'll give me a chance to see what size EP's work best/worst since this is my first scope and I have no experience other than with a 9mm and 25mm. I definitely want to see what the buzz is all about with the Astro-Tech Paradigm EP's.

I did the same when i started out. The EP kit was great. I have since learned a bit more and have more experience and i now prefer to buy individual EP's.

Individual EP's can be expensive though. I say go for the EP kit (i only know the CXelestron kit) and find out what works for you and what doesnt.

The Vixen NPL range of EP's should work well on a 90mm scope. They cost about £30 each.

Out of everything that came in my Celestron kit, there is very little i use now.

Hi, the Astro-Tech Paradigm ep's are superb value for money, incredibly well built and good flat field of view, I have the full set and they are the main stay of my collection.
