Gentlemen, if you can get your parents to take you to a local 'star party' or astro club, I'm sure the astro-nuts there would be quite helpful, share some of thier experience and maybe you may get to use an eyepiece or two in your scopes to see what to expect (you will need to ask realllllly nicely).

Your scopes are each very capable. A couple of decent EPs will help your experience, but be patient. It is worth the wait. In the mean time the EPs you have will serve you nicely to cut your teeth. What you will learn in moveing your scopes to suit the EPs you won't otherwise gain. Learn to 'see' with them and you will get even more out of what ever new EPs you get. Push them and your eyes. The detail they can reveal is still very good.

By the way, I tend to see barlows as a second best solution. For me, barlows loose light with thier extra elements and make for another thing to drop in the middle of the night. They have a place in the kit, but for special occassions and situations.
