114mm 1000mm Helios

[Rapidaz]

Hi everyone I've got myself a 114mm 1000mm Helios telescope, I've got a 2xbarlow , 12mm , and a 20mm cheap lenses . I'm looking to get myself a few new lenses , I'd like to get the best out of my telescope, I'm keeping my 2x barlow but getting rid of the rest and getting some better ones,what size lenses should I get? Thanks everyone

Plossl`s will work well in this telescope, a 25mm and a 10mm should be pretty good, First light optics sell skywatcher plossl for a very sensible price

Thanks for your advice mate , just purchased myself a 9mm celestron onmi eyepiece from Amazon £25 which isn't bad , fingers crossed it's ok with a 2xbarlow

you may find the barlow is to much magnification with the 9mm, have a look on Atroboot for GSO/Revelation plossl`s they had some for between £10 and £15, these are very good indeed if you can get a 15mm, lovely bit of kit

Will the 9mm be ok for seeing Jupiter?

Under good conditions the 9mm should be pretty good for Jupiter detail

Thanks for your info , wonder if Saturn will be the same ?
