Hi Glenn,

My only advice is don't go eyepiece crazy too quickly. There is a common observation that seems contradictory or paradoxical, but which is nonetheless frequently true. A. People tend to hang on to good quality eyepieces for a lot longer than they hang on to their scopes. B. They also tend to end up with a whole lot of (sometimes costly) eyepieces they seldom use. Get a good quality barlow to maximize whatever you have early on, then slowly build up your collection as you gain a better understanding of what your viewing preferences are and what your requirements become.

Cheers,

Brian.
