eyepieces for an ED80?

Hello,

i received two eyepieces with my Sky-Watcher ED80: 1.25” LET 20mm and 5mm.

what eyepieces would people recommend for this telescope?

I thought to get one in the middle, about 12mm, which will work well on its own or barlowed.

Someone else mentioned in another thread that they thought a good mid-range 2" eyepiece was a good bet.


so, some of my criteria (which are NOT fixed):
- Cost between $100 and $200
- 2" barrel (based upon nothing more than a few comments in different threads and not really sure how much of a difference this makes)
- eye relief, I wear glasses so long eye relief is useful but not essential as I can take them off.

thanks,
DJDD
