The Nagler T6, 13 & 9mm would take your viewing experience to a whole new level. These eyepieces along with a 24mm Panoptic are an excellent combination in any telescope.

The 9mm for example will fit the whole Moon in your 'scope at 72x and at the 13mm will show it very nicely at 50x with ample room to spare. The Pleiades will just fit into the field with the 13mm but this is where the 24mm Panoptic will show its worth. None are for eyeglass wearers but are very comfortable without with ample eye relief.

Note the 24mm has the largest true field in a 1.25" barrel, same as 32mm Plossl and 40mm Plossl but at a higher power and wider apparent field. It is best to try before you buy but the 24mm Panoptic is one of the most versatile low power eyepieces ever produced as it works very well in any telescope. Likewise for the 13mm Nagler for mid power use on your focal length 'scope and the 9mm for just a bit more power. Both Naglers can be Barlowed to give you 6.5mm and 4.5mm with a quality 2x Barlow. (Recommend Tele Vue if others don't work for you, stay away from the short type as they will vignette).

Yes they are expensive but they are lifetime eyepieces that can be used on any telescope. Bintel are the authorised Australian dealer for Tele Vue where you will get full warranty but of course they do appear on the used market from time to time.

Whatever you choose, enjoy!
