I currently have two eyepieces to go with my Celestron Nexstar 130Slt (f/5), a 9 mm and a 25 mm. They provide decent viewing opportunities, but I'm thinking about buying some extra eyepieces to expand what I view. I really don't know much about eyepieces, so I'm a bit lost as to where I should start. I was thinking about buying this set:
It seems like a good deal ($27 an eyepiece?! Hot dog!), but I am generally cautious of inexpensive sets like this, as I'm afraid the eyepieces are going to be lower quality. Outside of that, I haven't look that much. I don't know enough about eyepieces to know what I should buy for what I view. On an average night, I view some planets (mainly Saturn) and the moon, so I would love anything that gives me a better view of those. While it's usually not dark enough where I live to view DSOs, I have had a few opportunities to go out where it is dark, so I'm trying to keep that in mind. Also, should I be spending my money on different accessories, such as filters or something? I really don't know which is the best investment.
Any help? :shrug:
