Ok after 4 years with my nexstar 8 it was time to move up. I have order a LX200 12" UHTC I cant wait. I live in southern Indiana nice dark skies.

Now its time for some accessories, and I need you guys to help me with that.
I really need input on eyepeices I want to us 2" for the best FOV.

List of what I have
1 Kendricks heating system
2 Panopitic 27
3 Celestron ultima 7.5, 12.5, 18mm
4 Meade 12" dewshield
5 Meade power cord
6 Moon filter for 1.25" and 2"
7 IDAS nebula filter. Should I get color filters for planets and if so would I need them for 2" or 1 1/4"?
8 Peterson eyeopener II, EZ balance, the grips, mount assitant.
9 Orion planet filters.


For solar veiwing I have a PST

Thing I need
1 eyepieces ( panoptic 41 )Nagler 12mm t4 or maybe not. What are some of the eyepieces that you guys use?
2 scopebuggy
3 ?
4 ?
5 ?

The rest I need some input from you guys.

Ok I have a LX200 12" on order it will be replacing my c8. The eyepieces that I currently have are panoptic 27 2" celetron ultima 18mm 12.5mm 7.5mm. I dont think that the 7.5mm will work very often based on seeing. I would like the best possible FOV using a 2" eyepiece. The panoptic 41mm is one Iam thinking about. For planets and moon I was thinking about Nagler t4 12mm. I had also considered a 2x powermate but I dont know if that is something I really need.

What eyepieces would you guys recommend for me.

Thanks
Brad

When I order my LX200 12" I decided to have a skyshed built. I went with a 10x12. All I can say is in less than 5 minutes I up and running it makes it worth every penny.

Just finished my skyshed and here are my babies together.
