Hi Geoff...my first accessory purchase was a quality 2x barlow..(no plastic!) This will double the magnification of your current eyepieces...the 25mm=48x..with barlow 96x and the 9mm=133x..with barlow 266x..( to work out the magnification just divide the focal length by the Eyepiece size..eg F/L 1200 divided by 25 = 48x)
A good idea is to record your observations for future reference..noting weather conditions, time, location of object, EP's used and quality of image.
Cheers!
