Eyepiece recommendations please

[steviejasp]

Hi, I wonder if some of you knowledgeable people could help out a newb please.

Hopefully, i should be getting a LX200 10" soon. It comes with a 26mm series 5000 eyepiece. I think ill also treat myself to an extra couple of ep's. What makes/sizes would you recommend for starters? Ive blown my budget on the scope really so at the moment i cant afford anything too serious.

Thanks in advance, Steve

Why not go for a couple more Meade 5000's ? - they are pretty good, not too expensive and would be par focal (ie: reach focus at the same point) with the one you already have which is convenient. The 9mm would be a useful focal length to have.

And the 14mm.

You could get a 8-24 zoom -which would give you virtually all the magnifications you need in one eyepiece.
