Evening all, Won a few quid on the football tonight. Was just looking for some advise on, what are the best lenses to use on the Skywatcher Explorer 150PL

I am a newbie to all of this

Thanks

I have the 150p depends what you want to pay but the BST Starguider get very good reviews on here at £49 each they are very good the Celeston X-Cel`s get good feedback as well they are a bit dearer about £65 if you read both these they will give you a lot more information.

Depends on how much you won or what your budget is   If you give us an indication it may help with further advice.

Would ask what have you but I guess it will be the supplied 10mm and 25mm.

Sticking with the "normal" the BST Starguiders should do very well in yours, At £49 each.

If 2 then the 8mm and the 12mm - I again assume that the 25mm you have is reasonable.

BST's

Alternatives are the Celestron X-Cels from FLO, £65 (ish - I keep seeing the price alter so that is about the price)

Those are sort of the main 2 at that price range, after that it gets to the £100 area per eyepiece and above.

Others that are much the same price as BST's and X-Cels are simply not as well reported on so no real idea of their performance.

Thanks Ronin for your advise. I will look more in to it i was thinking of getting a Kellner 5 to 10mm just for planets. What do you think
