I posted this earlier about me loosing the 3 eyepieces along with the barlow. I couldn't really know much about the mm of the eyepieces, but in a ebay item, I found the exact model with the info I needed. The auction is old but it still viewable, item# 250146587291, I need the 4, 6, and 20mm eyepieces with the 2x barlow.

Where can I get these pieces? I cant really afford right now to buy a new one, especially the one I want with the remote control "go to" telescopes, which I will get later in the future.

Hi

The only way you are going to come out ahead without spending more on eyepieces and a barlow than that telescope is worth is to find used ones. By the time you repalce those lost eyepieces and barlow with new ones, you could buy a complete new telescope with tripod and eyepieces and , yes, eve get a computerized telescope. As I mentioned earlier, you first need to determine what barrel size your eyepieces are. If they are .965", you are going to have a difficult time finding them, even used. Best of luck, though, in your search.
