Neilius Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm not an expert, but I'm sure the experts on here would agree that you need to go 'up' in size - definately a 20mm, possibly a 30 or 40mm for wider fields of view. I would throw in a 2X barlow lens too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSkywatcher Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Something around 30-32mm will be great for scanning the skies looking for DSO's. You already have a 15,10,9.5 and a 4mmNo need really to add a 2x barlow to that collection. You will really only end up with 2 of everything.

nightfisher Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 yes, a 32mm is great for low power on dso and such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 hi Kelly. I'd generally agree with the advice as above but it really depends upon the scope you have. can you confirm which make and model it is? the answer may well be the same as already given of course! personally, I often recommend a Telrad as an early purchase as this often helps more than another eyepiece.
