Here is an interesting read on viewing the horsehead with different scopes. http://freescruz.com/~4cygni/haggisi...o/HH-sense.htm

A few people in our local astro group have Celestron Nexstar 4SE scopes and they have suprisingly good views, a good grab and go scope. As for eyepieces 25mm is a good alrounder, but I would try a wider field eyepiece say 32mm for dso's and maybe a 10mm for planets. Bintel have some well priced plossel eyepices that will do the job.
