My thoughts are as follows...

Get the best gear you can afford...and use it often.

Read the material on the TeleVue website about eyepiece selection for a small dobsonian (your's is bigger than small but the concept is the same).

Select a good High, Medium and Low magnifiaction eyepiece.
You can use the eyepiece calculator on the TV website to do some calculations for your scope.

In my opinion TeleVue is hard to beat with their widefield (Nagler/Ethos) eyepieces 11 mm and above. Also in my opinion Pentax shines (XW) at 10 mm and below...depending on which ones you need for your scope to fit H,M,L you can then do further research accordingly. As part of that research you should try and use some of them before you buy them.

Good Luck!
