The workhorse 2mm exit pupil, 65x eyepiece that is 10mm. This is for deep sky. It might be also 12, 11, 9 or 8mm. 10mm Hyperion or 9mm Orion or SW 66 Expanse were great, more comfortable than 10mm Plössl or 9mm Ortho. Nagler 11? Yes, of course, if you have the means. Also Hyperion Zoom (remember, comes to focus 16-8, unless you shorten the trusses). Delos and Pentax 10mm also but I didn't try them to know if they focus (they should) Maybe it’s due to its weight, but as soon as you remove the Heritage 130 from its box, you get the impression that this is a pretty sturdy scope. This is an “open truss” Dobsonian, meaning that rather than having a long telescope tube, the secondary mirror, focuser and finder are located on vanes attached to the main tube. I own a Heritage 130p and also a 150pl (the same OTA as the Skyliner - but on an EQ mount rather than a Dobsonian) I used the supplied eyepieces for a while, I have only added in dribs and drabs. I usually wait for offers or second hand to buy a good eyepiece but cheaper then full price.

In terms of star clusters, Ptolemy’s Cluster ( Messier 7, in Scorpius) looked fine at both 26x and 65x. This cluster, in particular, demonstrated two advantages of using eyepieces with a wider apparent field of view:I also spend a lot of time with my wide-field 9mm and 6mm Expanse and Expanse-clone EPs. Also have a 32mm Plossl that came with my Celestron C90 Mak which gets used a lot as well.

Meanwhile, our own Moon provided lots of detail.The Heritage 150P will keep you happy exploring its surface details for many nights. Messier 22, the largest and brightest globular cluster in Sagittarius, was easily visible with direct vision and appeared fairly large and uniformly gray at 26x. Some resolution throughout the cluster seemed possible with averted vision, which became much more apparent at 65x.Your telescopes have very close focal length, f/4.7 & f/5. So you are going to use the same eyepieces providing the same exit pupil but different magnification and FOV. Don't expect great planetary magnifications with the Heritage but you'll enjoy the galaxy, open clusters (Beehive, Pleiads, double in Perseus) and extended nebulas (Veil and North America with UHC or OIII filter), and the great Andromeda Galaxy. The telescope is more powerful than many short refractors such as 80 and 102ST or 66 and 80 ED, although it costs less than the semiapochronatics. One such essential accessory is a 6mm redline/ goldline eyepiece, which provides 108x magnification with the 130P. This enables you to observe significantly more detail on the Moon and planets compared to the mere 65x magnification offered by the included 10mm eyepiece. By utilising a Barlow lens, you can further increase the magnification to 216x, which is close to the maximum achievable. Another valuable, if not entirely necessary, addition is a 9mm redline/ goldline eyepiece (72x magnification) to replace the provided 10mm eyepiece. The redline/goldline eyepiece boasts a considerably wider apparent field of view, approximately 70 degrees, in contrast to the 55-degree field of the Super eyepieces. Furthermore, it offers greater eye relief than the 10mm Super eyepiece, resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience and enhanced sharpness towards the edges of the field of view. Recommendations. Since you have already a Barlow, and the eyepieces will be used with all scopes of yours, you might invest in three good eyepieces. The mount is a single-arm tabletop Dobsonian and is very easy to operate, with free movement on both the azimuth and altitude axis. Now, there are 150mm telescopes that are even shorter, but they have the longest focal-lengths in relation to their compactness, when compared to refractors and Newtonians.
