I agree very much with the above post.
A 6mm and a 5mm, without a barlow would be useful eyepieces to have but the very high magnifications just won't deliver.
With the barlow lens, your zoom should be more than enough.
If I was going to add an eyepiece it would be at the other end - perhaps a good quality 26mm - 30mm wide field to offset the zooms rather narrow angle of view at the 24mm end ?
Any advice on a good 26-30mm?

Thanks for the advice... I managed to catch Saturn briefly with the Hyperion + Barlow and with the small FoV it was moving out of view quickly, so thought a fixed EP at high mag with wide FoV would give me an improved image for longer... Hmmmm, some points to consider....

Hi everyone!
Like a lot of new amateurs I am completely overwhelmed with the choice of eyepieces.
I have a Sky Watcher 250P Classic on a dob for visual astronomy. I have recently purchased the Hyperion IV 8-24mm zoom (with 2.25 Barlow) as my general roaming around EP. Now potentially looking for a high powered EP with large FoV to get those detailed views of planets and DSOs - the question is which should I buy? I was thinking something in the 2.5-6mm range and happy to go up to say £250 price point for the right EP.
So, what is the wisdom? A 6mm and Barlow, or some where between 2.5 (pushing the scope) and 5mm without Barlow?
Thanks!
