21mm and 31mm is probably all you really need. IMO, I would save the money for potential upgrades to the scope itself before spending more on eyepieces that you may, or may not use as much as, for example; a really nice feathertouch focuser, a really nice filterslide, or some good dew heaters, a battery bank, a good tablet for navigation, a good astro camera, or even just some really high quality O2 and/or HA filters. With a 30" scope, you are probably going to need a fairly large ladder, and the quality of that ladder is going to make a big difference in your ability to enjoy and or share the enjoyment of your new scope. Those are just a few of the things I'm wishing I had purchased for my Obsession 20" classic when I "upgraded" from a UC18. I wish I spent some money upgrading scope instead of buying a bunch of eyepieces I rarely use. I wish I had bought higher quality filters, I should have upgraded the braces for the UTA on my UC18, or the center mirror bracing/adjustment setup. I've even thought about upgrading the aluminum tubing to carbon fiber (i.e. less expansion/contraction/flex) The biggest gripe with my current setup (i.e. a fairly old 20" classic) is that the clamps I have holding the UTA on the truss rods are really quite crappy. A really great solution to replace them probably costs as much as, or possibly more than, a nice Nagler. Just a few ideas for you to ponder. Hope you get lots of time to enjoy that huge scope! /Josh On Mon, Jul 29, 2024, 10:48 a.m. Omar Radwan via <omarradwan=[email protected]> wrote:
