What is your budget jazza??

Not experienced enough to recommend an eyepiece but this is the first question most will ask before an answer. Good luck with the search.

Let me suggest that before you buy anything that you get out to a viewing night or two with some other folks to get some viewing time under your belt as well as see what different types of eyepieces are available.

There are eyepieces available in a variety of price/performance ranges...

Different brands/designs have different attributes and in particular at the expensive end there are some "subtle" differences that might influence your longer term preference. If you wear glasses you might make a different choice to someone who does not wear glasses...etc. etc.

Get some time under the stars before opening up your wallet...and then when you do open your wallet, get the best that your budget will allow.
