O.k. guys. I just picked up a mint condition meade LX6 10" at f6.3. What is the best mm eyepiece for just scouting the sky? What one expensive eyepiece will get the most use. I have had some of the meade 5000 uwa's in the past but they were used in a small refactor. I would like to purchase one good uwa eyepiece for now and add others later. At $300 to $400 a piece, one is all I can get for now. I was thinking about a meade 5000 24mm UWA or an 18mm UWA. What do you think the best option for a single piece for now would be???? Focal length is 1600mm. Thanks........Ken

This is my Rosette.  I shot it last night.  42 - 300 sec subs,  20 dark,  20 flat,  20 bias.  Shot with William's optics star 71 astrograph,  ioptron ieq30 pro mount,  asi294mc pro camera (guided),  with an optolong l-enhance dual narrowband filter.  Processed by extracting the two channels then combining to make a synthetic green channel.  Thanks for looking.....
