Just bought a used LX200 10". So I'm hunting EP's for it.
I have whiched the scope over to a 2" visual back from AP and got an Antares 2" star diagonal from scopestuff.
I am currently trading my meade zoom EP for a meade 18mm SWA and I have the 26mm that came with the scope. I want to use a combo of 1.25" and 2" EP's but I am on a budget and can't afford the high end EP's. I have found a used 32mm 2" Antares erfle 70' FOV for $79. but I don't hear a lot about the Antares EP's, So what's the low down on them????
Please feel free to make suggestions on 1.25" and 2" EP's but remember I'm on a budget
another question I have is about the shorty barlows. will these work well on my LX200?? I am selling my ETX125 and I want to keep some of the acc's that I had for that if they will work well with the bigger scope. Thanks

well, I'm just getting back to the forums and realize this is a little late but... If your serious you might a well start saving your pennies. With your 10" you'll want: 15 mm panoptic, 22 mm panoptic, 35 mm panoptic and a nice 10 or 11 mm plossl. Naglers are even better. It makes such a huge difference with this scope. I have a lot more into my eyepiece collection thanI have in the LX200
