In my (limited) experience, different eyepieces are preferred in different scopes. With Roger having the same scope, his suggestions thus have extra merit. One thing I've found useful is to bring your scope to a big star party, and find someone willing to lend you a few differing eyepieces, and try them out in your scope before you sink a lot of $$ into something -- many of the premium brands (TeleVue) are great optics but come with a hefty price tag. Better to buy something you know works well for you than suffer buyer's remorse. Also look at the classifieds -- you can often find deals out there on used stuff. I had the chance to set up next to Lowell Lyons one night, and try out his Pentax lineup. He loves and swears by them, and they are nice, but I found comparing them side-by-side, the similar TeleVue Panoptics worked better in my scope than the "equivalent" Pentax; for Lowell, the opposite was true for his scope (and his eyes). You may also find that some much cheaper brands and models works well enough that the extra $$ for premium brands just isn't worth it.

I have had mine for 10-years and have no complaints. The one I use the most is the 26mm super-wide angle eyepiece. I also have the 30 & 40mm super wide angle eyepieces and I use them very much particularly the 40mm. I think that this telescope comes with a 25mm 5-element plossel eyepiece. Thanks Rodger C.
