My first scope - need Eyepiece and general scope advise

Hi,
I have now idea what I'm doing. I just bought my first scope which is an 8" Vue Eye 05413 EQ - I can't find any info on this scope using Google. I picked it up for $250 with a 25mm PL and a 6.4mm PL 1.25".

Does anyone know anything about this make/model of scope?

I need a 3x Barlow for moon and planet stuff and probably better quality lens with a wider view angle - possibly an adjustable lens - not to sure (would like something for deep field as well). The adjustable eyepiece mount/adapter screws off with a 40mm thread and I am wondering if I can change this to 2" or if I'm stuck with 1.25".

I have attached some photos - any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
