You have to be careful buying from the states as you usually have to pay VAT on top plus a 4% import duty. £10 for an eyepiece is a good price though. Have to check the postage though from the US

You shouldn't get any charges for that eyepiece, the postage will will be about a fiver which is still a good deal.

I've got that one Gaz, it's a great eyepiece for the price.

Hi,

They are both fine for the money (the best one on Ebay at the moment is the Televue but thats at £50 with a day to go!!), theres probably not much, if anything, to choose inbetween the two.

The Barlow, a 32 and your existing eyepieces will give you a good range of magnifications to start with, then maybe look at replacing the 10mm. The Skywatcher 20mm are OK, but the 10s are usually a bit ropey.
