New Celestron 8SE User; Best eyepieces?

Good Day,

So thanks to those who gave me some really awesome advice about power supplies & batteries.


It's time for me to consider eyepieces!

I believe the scope will be coming with a stock 25mm eyepiece.

I know I don't know much about them, & I will be pouring through threads on here & other places over the next few days before the scope arrives.

I would really like some advice about what would be the best one or two or few pieces to get started, besides what will be coming with the scope.

I intend to look at *everything* at some point (not considering solar observations until much much later..), so I imagine I will need a good range of pieces for the various tasks.

For the other Celestron 8SE users: What have you found to be good matches for the scope? Anything to avoid like the plague?


I had seen these 'zoomable' eyepieces.. Which I am not sure about. Theres this cheaper Celestron one, but I think people find the Baader ones to be better?

Celestron 8-24 zoomable eyepiece

Baader Hyperion Zoom

Baader Hyperion MKIII


Are these zoomable eyepieces worth it?
Will one of these practically replace 2-3 separate eyepieces?

Thanks in advance

Time for me to start reading
