The most pertinent question to ask is what EPs you already have or what EPs are coming with the scope? Many scopes will come with a couple of eyepieces, quite often a 25mm and a 10mm. My usual advice which I think is sound, is that if your scope comes with eyepieces use those for a while before spending money. Reasons for this are:
- it is very easy to spend a lot of $$$ for not much value with eyepieces
- my experience with a variety of scopes was that a moderate power one such as a reasonable 25mm will spend a lot of your time in the focuser as conditions rarely warrant high power
- main value of the higher power pieces is to teach beginners the frustrations of chasing more "power"
I am not a big fan of kits. Usually a waste of money IMHO and right up there with wobbly EQ mounted Newtonians as a plague designed to discourage beginners.
