While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Dear list,

I'm thinking to expand my eyepieces collection. I already own the Mead
e 26 mm Ploessl which came with the , 2x barlow (#126) and a 18mm Orth
o from Vixen.

1) Is a 7 mm (and evtl. an 5 mm) ortho a good idea? I realy enjoy the
18mm ortho I already have (sharp images) and would like to continue th
is way. Are the wide angle 7 & 5 mm (Nagler, etc...) as good as the or
tho in term of sharpness? In other words are they realy worth the extr
a money?

2) I'm searching a low power eyepiece (32..35 mm range). I have an opp
ortunity to buy a "Bausch & lomb" 32 mm ploessl eyepiece at a very int
eresting price, but still hesitate. Any suggestions? BTW, what is the
lowest usable magnification that I can produce with my ETX?

Thanks in advance

Julien
