Hello Friend,

    What is the biggest mistake most first time telescope owners make?

Usually it is buying a bunch of poor quality eyepieces, that are usually sold in kits
by manufacturers at relatively low prices.

      It sounds like you are getting a lot for your money, but in reality you may ending up
using only one or two of those eyepieces, and the rest will sit discarded and collecting dust.

A far better way is to invest in buying at least one good quality eyepiece, which you will
likely end up using at least 75% of the time anyway.

   In fact, you may pay as much for that one eyepiece, as you would for a whole kit
of those poor quality eyepieces.

  The eyepiece is 50% of your telescope: if it is the weak link, then you will not
enjoy your observing experiences.

       Meade, Celestron, Explore Scientific, Baader Planetarium, Televue do make some very decent eyepieces
so consider getting one of those.

Remember: Quality versus quantity, wins everytime.

  We get much positive feedback from customers when they finally invest in good quality eyepieces,
and a lot of moaning and groaning when they don't.

So buy quality first, then you won't waste your money having to replace the junk anytime soon.

      Want some examples of good quality eyepieces?

I am going to show you these Meade eyepieces which we currently have on sale.

PS Always look at buying an eyepiece as a long term investment.  Regardless of what telescope
     you own down the road, you won't have to replace a quality eyepiece. It will last!
