Hi John.
I have been having a deeper look online into the standard eyepieces that come with this telescope.
The 40mm eyepiece will give x59 magnification, and the 13mm eyepiece will give x180 magnification. In my opinion, there is a big gap in between.
I think you might want to consider an extra eyepiece to cover the gap early on – it may help you to find and appreciate particular objects more easily and make the starting experience more enjoyable. Something like a ~20mm eyepiece for x117 magnification (2mm exit pupil) might be suitable. People who own this telescope may be able to comment on this better than I.
Have a look at the forums to see what eyepiece focal lengths might work well for this telescope. Some people will suggest buying a large range of additional eyepieces, but I think just a single eyepiece to fill the gap would be a good starting point. Alternatives would be a zoom eyepiece or a x2 Barlow lens. It could be something simple and inexpensive for now, as you may eventually want to upgrade all the eyepieces as a set later on.
Happy viewing!
