Hi Simon,
Congratulations on the new scope. The first step to another level of wow!
I read your post and it looked very similar to the one I posted some time ago. Funnily enough, the responses were much the same and I tend to agree with them now.
Credit where credit is due, one of the people from Bintel in Sydney listened to my situation and suggested a 12.5mm eyepiece from their range. The 12.5 Orion Edge on I think.
I bought several others for experimentation later on. The 12.5 is the one that gets used most for planetary stuff. I was able to see that the points of light around Saturn were moons.
My advice. Don't spend too much until you get your head around things. You'll need every cent later on when you work out what you really want to see.
Borrow as many eyepieces as possible first!
