My suggestion...GSO Plossls 32 25 20 and 15 with the 'modified' Barlow.
A more expensive version is TV Plossls and a 2.5x Powermate.
32 25 20 15 add the Barlow @2.5x and put the 32 in again and work down from there to get...12.8 10 8 6...no duplication of mags.

Both the powermate and the Barlow are televue
I will have a look into it, I think I need to go back to a star party and look through some eyepieces , I haven't done that for a while
