Some things to keep in mind. 95 percent of the time my skies limit me to 200x or less. With its 2500mm of focal length i am thinking that my 3 Q70s might just find a home with that scope. If i used my 2 inch 2x barlow that would give me a range of 13, 16, 19, 26, 32 and 38mm. Now i know the Q series eyepieces are much maligned in faster scopes, but at F10 one would think they would be pretty decent.
