Hi Ben, for my two gold coins worth (after all, it is international talk like a pirate day
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/), fork out a few dollars and get one or two decent eyepieces ($100-200, plenty of goodies in the trades sections of this site). No point in getting a whizz bang scope only to have the light gathered wasted before it hits the eye.
Welcome to the site.
