Congratulations on your new telescope. I have a few questions.

* Budget, eyepieces can be $50 or $500, what is your budget?
* Sounds like you don't have any sort of mount right now, how are you using the telescope?

I will leave mount advice to others since you seem interested in getting something that would be appropriate for AP. Not my area.

As for eyepieces, some people will suggest getting the best, read higher priced, eyepieces one at a time. Others, like myself, tend to be more moderate in our purchasing habits going for value priced to middle of the pack.

Some will suggest you get only fixed length eyepieces. Others, like myself, like barlows and buy eyepieces in wider gaps, filling in with the barlow.

Do you have an approach you prefer?

BTW, my most used eyepiece is an 8-24 Zoom which I extend with a 2X barlow. In my 1200 mm FL newtonian that gives me 50x to 300X. You might consider getting one of these and a 2X barlow which will cover a wide range. Then you can fill in your single FL eyepieces as budget allows.
