Recommendations for 102 SLT

[WiKi_KiKi]

After some great observing last night with stock eyepieces, I was wondering what else I should add to my collection. Focal length is 660mm, price range is anything less than around £60. Thanks in advance!

WiKi_KiKi.....hi there, BST Starguiders are very good with the 200P and should work well on the Celestron with its f6.47  ratio. Buy two (or more ) and compare, returning any you don't like. I liked them all, so no refunds for me! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Skys-the-Limit-Astro-and-Optical/BST-Starguider-ED-/_i.html?_fsub=2568750014

Wiki_KiKi,

My advice is like as following:

1. keep on using the stock eyepieces for a while to gain more experience, also to get an idea what YOU feel you need and want, then come back here with more specific questions you want answers.

2. read as much as you can to get better understanding of different eyepieces, you can easily google search everything, and there're many interesting discussions about eyepieces here in this eyepiece section,

3. take a good hard look at used market here when you have decided to buy en eyepiece, http://www.astrobuysell.com/uk/propview.php, It'll save you hard-earned money, astronomers usually take good care of their eyepieces, any new eyepieces lose some 25-40% the minute you open the box.

YKSE......Coincidence? Same Latitude!

Yes, nice coincidence. We need to go southward to bag the few low Messiers.
