Hi Krumlov

Your existing eyepieces are good for low power wide field views but for planets you need more magnification. My suggestion to you would be to aquire the GSO I.25" barlows the 2x and 3x ED to compliment your 25mm Plossl.The outlay for these two items is very reasonable and they perform well. Or you could go for the 2"ED 2x barlow to use with your 30mm 2" ocular (this barlow is a little more expensive but has a removable 1,25" eyepiece adapter included for use with 1.25" oculars).

Best regards
Stephen
