What Eyepieces should I get?

Hey Gang,

I got those advertised eyepieces from Bill, (as I only a few .965s
that go with my little 63 mm F12). But they turned out to be a 40 mm
and a 6mm. I have a Seibert 2" 2.5X barlow. The 40mm will probably
work for now but the 6 mm looks like I have to stick my eye way to
close. So I probably will return it. That means I need atleast one
more higher powered eyepiece for now. What should I look for? Used is
ok, I am on a buget. Any advice is greatly apreciated. I want to have
some good views with my 127 when the skies here finally clear up.
Great Reports so far, I am jonesn' for some clear sky

Thanks,
Greg

You might want to try the 6mm in your scope first the eye relief may not be that bad in use. I have had eyepieces look really tight on eye relief but in the scope were pretty decent. For as other eyepieces with greater eye relief if you are on a budget i would get a 12mm ultima and a good 2x barlow. The celestron ultimas have been the best all round eyepieces i have used for not a lot of money. Hope this helps. Matt
