Looking for good coverage for my Nexstar 6SE
No rhyme or reason except for I already have some Televue so kept with them and what I thought were "reasonable" magnification & TFOV jumps.
Panoptic 24mm 62.5x TFOV - 1.0 (already own)
Delos 17.3mm 86.7x TFOV - 0.81
Nagler 6 13mm 115.4x TFOV*- 0.67 (already own)
Nagler 6 9mm 166.7x TFOV - 0.47
Delos 8mm 187.5x TFOV - 0.38 or Nagler 6 7mm 214.3x TFOV - 0.37
Delos 6mm 250x TFOV - 0.29
Thanks

Well, normally a 40% jump in magnification from one eyepiece to the next would be a decent place to start.
Starting with the 24mm (and I think you should have a 32mm Plössl for lower power), that would be: 24mm 17mm 12mm 8-9mm 6mm.
But many planetary/lunar/double star observers like their higher powers closer together because they'll be pressing against the limit dictated by seeing conditions.
They might say starting at your 13mm: 13mm...10mm..8mm..6mm
For general use, though, I don't really see you need another eyepiece.
Except maybe a 32mm Plössl for 47x.
