120mm refractor, 840mm focal length @ f7. It comes with a 2" 28mm eyepiece which the reviews say is okay.

I'd like to pick up one or two more eyepieces for when the skies clear. I plugged in the numbers to a calculator and it said I have a 30x magnification which isn't much (the scope limit is 270x or so).

As I'm new I guess I have the middle ground covered; what should I do for the bottom and top end? Should I get a 5mm for looking at planets (there's a lot of variety here from 3.5mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm etc)? Do I need a wider FOV to balance things out at 30mm or 40mm?

I'm planning on getting semi-cheap ones from BST StarGuider which have good reviews... I don't want to break the bank. I just need a suggestion or two on good sizes to start.

Thanks
