Thanks to all the people who replied, I think I am leaning towards a widefield type eyepiece of some sort, basically because it would be very difficult to track LEOs at high power with a dob. However, I would like to hear from anyone who thinks the views with a high power EP would be okay, because I was initially leaning toward a high power EP for planetary viewing. Is there a remarkable jump in quality from a wide angle to a high power eyepiece? For instance, is detail visible in ISS at 400x while it isn't at lower powers? I rarely read discussions on SeeSat about which telescope observing techniques yield the best results. And by the way, I got many more replies here than I did from a post on SAA, which just goes to show what a great list this is (our fewer than 1000 users compared to SAA's over 10,000). Thanks again for your help everyone! Patrick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Thousands of Stores.
