James my suggestion is this, don't buy cheap Eyepieces (EP's). Save your money and get good quality EP's. Televue EP's are expensive but are of great quality. You might like also to look at the Meade series 5000 EP's. These are slightly cheaper and have good optics in them.

Buying cheap EP's will lead to disappointment and a withdrawal from the hobby. The view will not be very good. Good quality EP's give good views

My suggestion for a collection of EP's is this.

1 x 9mm EP for planetary viewing.
1 x 20-26mm for nebula and galaxy viewing
1 x 30mm for wide field viewing.

1 x 2x barlow (preferably Televue brand).

This collection will take a while to buy as Good EP's are expensive, but they will make your scope come alive and your interest in the hobby will also grow. If you ever sell the scope and want to buy another this collection of EP's will be perfect for your next scope.

Anyway best of luck with your selections.
