127 Mak - Eyepiece for wide field viewing

Hi,

I have recently lashed out and acquired a new SkyWatcher 127 Mak/Cas Az goto f/11.8. The widest eyepiece I have is a 24mm.

A couple of Questions to get me on track, pls....;

I get the drift from searching the net that 32mm may be the effective limit.

- Anyone able to recommend the widest eyepiece these Maks can handle given the inherent high mag/narrow field of view of the scope design??

- Anyone have experience with 40mm. (I'm considering a Tele Vue 32mm $129)

- How would it handle a wide apparent field eyepiece - say 70deg

- Whats the recommended filter for moderate light pollution & good nebulae viewing (SkyGlow, OIII or UHC-s etc)

Thanks
