Im not sure what magnification the 26mm will give you but you will need a GOOD quality wide field of view eyepiece giving around 50X to 60X for the DSO and general viewing, you will use this eyepiece more thany other, and another giving between 100X to 150X for the planets and closer looks to Glob's and Nebula's ect, this would be your minium, Pentax, Televue, Meade 5000 series, and many others will fit the bill.As far as the QX goes I brought one of these and swapped it back to them for a Superwide 5000 the next day, the difference was like chalk and cheese, I could not belive it.
