You don't need wide field for planetary only for the lower power eyepieces.

As you have a 25mm and 10mm Super Plossls supplied with the scope our suggestion would be to buy a good barlow and a good planetary ep and by using the barlow with the 25mm this will have quite a good range to begin with.

Once you get used to the different fields of view you can decide to get a better quality lower power wide field ep further down the track. In getting the Barlow and the planetary now you will be set for quite a while. Maybe a 15-20mm wide field later on.

The best planetary ep for a reasonable price is the Burgess TMB Planetary we would suggest a 6mm. If you do a search on the forum you will find quite a few reviews on them they are really great quality and have excellent eye relief.
