At TSP, I bought a 2″ fit 35mm TeleVue Panoptic eyepiece (I don’t really need one, but I have always wanted one which is a good enough reason). It is pretty heavy, though, and I am hoping I will not have to make too many (any!) adjustments to the balance of the scope.

I also bought – second hand – a 4 inch Meade Schmidt Cassegrain for the bargain price of $110. I have to admit that I need an SCT like a hole in the head, but I couldn’t resist it and it will be a good travel scope (unlike the little refractor travel scope I already have and which doesn’t focus very well without racking it in until it will go no further and also has a godawful mount on it). This is a cute little scope. I also had to get a 2″ diagonal to fit it, which cost me an additional $50 but this was also a bargain.
