Blazar Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Welcome Bob.Think the best thing to do is have a look at the sticky called "Eyepieces: the very least you need" here. That might give you some background into how to choose the correct eyepieces, as well as the 'why' it would be good for your scope.There are a lot of unknown abbreviations, and terms used in astronomy (and a lot of people (myself included) recommend the Turn Left at Orion book), as this not only gives you some targets to look at (and how to find them), but also some basic telescope math and guidance into how to get the best from it.Wish you clear skies and the best of luck.
