I was just doing the math for the telescope that I have coming. If I employ the 2x Barlow only one of the 3 eyepieces it comes with is useful. The other 2 exceed the practical maximum magnification limit of the telescope.

I think I got this from the book we have Sherlew. POWER RANGES OF EYEPIECES LOW POWER 40MM ~ 20MM MEDIUM POWER 19MM ~ 13MM HIGH POWER 12MM ~ 4MM
So according to that I'll have 2 high power eyepieces and one low power eyepiece. I will probably upgrade with a few new eyepieces soon. A 12mm looks like it would be great. I'll have to see if I could find one.

He talks about over powering in this one and the scope he is showing has the exact same numbers as the one I sent for.

Should I open it up or wait until the carrying case gets here?

This is as far as I'm going with unboxing until I get the carrying case. So we have boxes inside of boxes inside of boxes and that's a good thing.
