Phils theres another angle to maybe give some consideration . A 6.3 focal reducer would save you money on purchasing longer focal length eyepieces plus serve a dual purpose if the astrophotophy bug bites in the future .When i was deciding on eyepieces getting the best eyepiece i could afford in the 20mm range was the catchcry for a F/10 scope. Ok i ended up with a 22mm nagler but team that up with a FR i just cant justify spending money on longer focal length eyepieces . If the budget is tight the stock meade 26mm plossl {one of my favourite eyepieces} with a FR might provide you with your low power setup, anywhy something to think about .
