Thank you for the reply. Yes, I learned what I had to learn from going to astronomy gatherings and absorbing what the folks worked with. A store like what you describe would be awesome in today's day and age.
On a side note, I have an 8'' dobsonian and people think I might be getting magnified views of DSOs with that by default. I have to explain about eyepieces to them to clear that out.
- dylan604 1mo agoThe price of the telescope + mount is just the tip of the iceberg. Eyepieces are fine pieces of lenses and are priced accordingly. They are no different in practice than the lens of a camera which might make their prices more relatable. The tube is just collecting light, but the eyepiece determines what makes it to your eye with what level of maginification. Just stating all of this for others that might just be starting to consider a telescope. I have not invested in eyepieces as I bought the telescope for prime photography.
