Might I suggest the 11 & 16mm Naglers for med/high power and the 27 a/o the 35 Pan (at least to start) for low power.
I found the 41 to be a bit too wide at f10 but then, horses for courses as I don't do a whole lot of wide field viewing.
The 16 Nagler is smaller & lighter than the 17, and, IMO gives nothing away in image quality.
The 11mm for lunar exploration is a corker.
Mind you, if your corner of Gippsland is as cloudy as mine at the moment, you might as well buy a whole bunch of Bintel cheapies, find out which focal lengths you like best and then upgrade.
Actually, thats a brilliant idea anyway!
Don't know why it never occured to me before.
Probably the pills!
