Eyepiece for Skywatcher Explorer 130

[ChrisG3484]

Hi All,

I am sure that this has been raised before. I have recently purchased a Skywatcher Explorer 130 telescope. It comes with a 10, 25mm and a Barlow 2x lens. I was wondering is there any particular types of eyepieces I should look at next ? I was thinking of purchasing a Solar Filter but frankly it scares me. I have seen lots of different types of eyepieces such as plossl and other things.

Should I aim to get a 5mm eyepiece or 35mm eyepiece ? do Barlow lens go beyond 2x ?

Chris

Thanks. I am sure someone must have asked the same questions before but I suck at searching on the forum.

Haha, don't worry about it. I just type the key words I want to know about into the top left search box then check the post titles, normally you'll find something quite close.
