Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

I compared their prices against some of the UK "shops" and the prices are competitive, they are doing mostly Celestron but also have some Orion EP's listed as well.
An excellent website, very easy to get around.
Celestron CPC 9.25
Celestron Ultima LX 8mm, 13mm, 17mm, 22mm, 32mm.
Starlight Microfocuser
A full set of Snickers Thermals

The orignal poster said he was new to astronomy and looking to extend his eyepiece collection. Now that Luminos would be a nice addition but not the most economic addition.
Most shops will have eyepiece sets in the €100-€200 range. Price depends on the number of eyepieces, what focal lengths, what filters are included, how nice the case is etc. Most of the eyepieces will be a standard plossl design so there won't be much of a quality/performance difference between manufacturers.
That's what I'd advise looking at first anyway. The Irish dealers mentioned here both do sets from various manufacturers.

Hi Pat
Scope and Space are quoting €15 for shipping, add that to the €129 and it comes to €144.
I agree with you Albert, a set would be the best option, giving a good variety of eyepieces.

Hi Paul I am sorry if I seem to be labouring my point, however I was charged €5 shipping for the items I bought from Scopes and Space.lunartic wrote: Hi Pat

I was going by the website, when you add the eyepiece to the shopping basket it gives a shipping cost of €15, if they only charged €5, then all the better, a saving of a tenner.
