finding stars was not a problem and zooming with different eyepieces was fun.

i'm considering getting a baader platerarium hyperion 8x-24x click zoom and i think i should get some major improvements and not have to change the eyepieces anymore.

i would not change it for a magnifying scope.the equatorial mount was a bit tricky to use for me as a beginner.
from www.telescopes.com
the resolution is amazing, and the magnification can go to 750, but i choose 150.
from www.telescopes.com
after collimating the scope (another good lesson) i found a useful magnification of at least 250 which is very impressive for the price.
from www.telescopes.com
the most magnification you would want is about 225x to 250x...
from www.amazon.com
you will most likely want to invest in another high zoom (~10mm) eyepiece and barlow lens.
