All for $107 but if this is to much start with getting the 15mm and I guarantee it will become the most used eyepiece you own , these are that good then save up for the 20mm then Barlow , these are excellent eyepieces rivalling my $300+ TelVue Panoptics , awesome eyepieces that will make your scope perform as good as it can and that's very well on the moon , planets and double stars etc.

+1 for this advice. I use these two almost exclusively. Haven't really found a need to upgrade although I do have a few other sizes for specific objects ( 10, 9, 6 eg )
And
btw. I started with a 60mm, then a 114 mm Newt, still small but surprisingly good. So you're in good company.
