I was under the understanding a 2"eyepiece makes viewing more comfortable. I had read that there is more relief and less eye strain. If the consensus is that a 2in isn't worth it, I will probably return before I try it out.

Because the eyepiece that came with the scope is just 1.25, should I get a 2in eyepiece?

I recently purchased: (photos attached) 8se 8" Celestron Meade 2in diagonal Celestron focal reducer I want to view planets, nebula, etc in Cleveland Ohio area. What advice would you give me in regards to either keeping or returning the diagonal/reducer? If keeping either or both, what eye pieces would you recommend starting with (I only have the 1.25 eyepiece that came with the telescope)? Are there any other important pieces of equipment I should buy other than eyepieces? Thank you so much for any help/advice. If you could explain why you make recommendations so I can understand and learn, that would be much appreciated also!
