Hi Larry
I use a Tele Vue Binovue that works very well on the 24" for most objects , but for smaller scopes like the 5" borg is best at low power sweeping of the milkyway , dark nebulae look particularly good and brighter star clusters look 3D. It gives a very relaxed and comfortable view.
Your scope won't reach focus with out a relay lens which adds magnification or by shortening the scope about 2".
The moon and planets will also end up favorites , I have used a WO bino viewer that also works well and is much cheaper.
There are also some real cheap and nasties out there that aren't worth bothering with.
