6.3mm should be a very good useful focal length in your scope, certainly useful more often than the 4mm. The vixen lv line have quite a small fov though.

I am considering getting a barlow as well. What brand do you recommend for a good quality barlow. What price do I need to spend to get a good barlow
|
About $150 will get you an Orion Shorty-PLUS, which is a decent barlow. Please dont be tempted to economise on a cheap barlow or you will be dissapointed.

I don't mind paying the higher price for a vixen as my budget for getting the scope was much higher than I ended up paying for it.

Just how big is your budget? If you can afford to go higher, many wonderful no-comprimise options open up
P.S. moving this to the eyepieces forum
