Last weekend's star party at Capitol Reef was fantastic. Many heartfelt thanks to the SLASers who got it organized and for extending the invitation to join the event. Susie and I took our C11 to the star party and we were amazed by what that ultra-dark sky did for the telescope's views. I'm so used to doing star parties under so-so seeing conditions along the Wasatch Front that I'd forgotten what can be accomplished under a truly dark sky. I played around with the few relatively inexpensive eyepieces I own and found that by far the best views of the evening were achieved with a 1.25" 30mm Ultrascopic. Looking through Lowell's 10" Meade with his amazing Pentax eyepiece got me to thinking that perhaps I need to look into optimizing my C11's performance by getting better quality eyepieces. My problem is that there are a zillion eyepiece choices and I don't know what types of eyepieces are best-suited for a C11 and the sort of general-public viewing that dominates my use of that telescope. Anyone care to offer wisdom and/or opinions on the subject? (Any chance I can do this without going broke?) Thanks, Seth Jarvis
