What eyepiece and barlow do you guys recommend for planetary? It's for a 150/750 telescope.

For maximum magnification I would choose a 2x Barlow with a 5 or 6mm eyepiece, or a 3x Barlow with a 8 or 9mm eyepiece.

If you’re looking towards the budget end, I have the SvBony SV213 3x apochromatic barlow and it’s pretty good for the price. I also have the Celestron Omni 2x and it’s fair to OK, not as good as the SvBony. Svbony do make some duff ones too, you have to research each model individually.

The red or goldline eyepieces sold by svbony and others are available in 6mm and 9mm versions. There’s another thread on here about them with more info.
