Hello fellow EP junkies,
Based on the following list, am I setup pretty well, or could you suggest something to enhance the selection I have? I am on a budget, so don't burn my wallet too bad.
Thanks in advance and have fun,
Tim

I have the following eyepieces to use with my 80mm f6 and 127mm f8 refractors;

5mm Tak LE
9mm Stellarvue Plossl
12mm Circle T ortho
18mm Celestron Ultima
26mm Meade 4000 Plossl
32mm Stellarvue Plossl

Thanks for reminding me Floyd,
I do have an Celestron Ultima 2x barlow.

The range of EPs for magnification seems adequate.
If you are happy with the views these EPs provide, then I would just enjoy.
The only thing that you might like to get would be a barlow to be able to double up with what you already have. This would give you up to 240x which I think would be about the max from what people say on the 80mm scope and 400x for the 127mm which should be plenty for it as well.
One or two wider FOV EPs would be nice for rich field views.

Tim,

Looks like you are set. Only way to go from there is the high $$$ ep's. So, don't worry, be happy. Or get a binoviewer and double your fun.

Clear skies,

Tom
