Hi Steve,

The Revelation kit seems to get good reviews so I think you are OK there. Looks to be a sensible range of focal lengths for your scope and a decent barlow lens as well to expand their capabilities a bit.

Should be a bit better than the eyepieces that came with the scope.

Hi Steve.

welcome to the forum, I have seen some good reports on the Revelation ep kit. I would try a search, to find a review or two. I am pretty sure you'll get a reply from someone who has a set, with a similair scope.

Hi Steve - the Revelation kit is the better of the current available options in that price range and has some nice photo visual accessories too.

I'm also in Leicester - if you're interested in joining a local group for observing sessions then click the link in my signature for East Mids Stargazers. You'd be welcome to visit our dark site to try it out

I've always heard very good comments about the photo visual kit. The 32mm lens is particularly highly thought of.

It's at Sawley off Jn24 of the M1 - on Warren Lane - very clear on google maps satellite view - you can see the "X" of the model plane runway in the field. It's on a sharp 90 deg bend half way up the lane
